Vintage '50s Crocodile Alligator Leather Brown Structured Shoulder Bag Purse LW

Vintage '50s Crocodile Alligator Leather Brown Structured Shoulder Bag Purse LW Great vintage reptile alligator handbag from 1950’s - 1960’s! Has a rich brown color. Handbag has a nice hard structure with a covered metal frame. Frame is marked L.W on the hinge on both sides of the bag. The top of handbag has an ingenious geometric style gold tone metal clasp. The top of the clap folds down and locks in for a secure close. I have actually never seen a clasp exactly like this before so I thought it was pretty cool! The strap is a heavy duty gold tone chain that attaches to the sides of the frame. The inside is a light tan kid skin lining with a side zipper pocket and an open pocket with the original mirror tucked into it. It also comes with the original matching coin purse in a matching soft tan leather. Inside of bag is clean. The outside has some flaws commiserate with it's age. Some tarnish on the hardware and some wear on the leather mostly at the bottom and sides. I have tried to capture all flaws in the pictures but please let me know if you have any questions. The bag measures 7 inches to top of clasp x 8 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/4 inches across the base. The handle has a 11" drop to top of frame. There is no signature inside.
