@katiedidit. Thank you!

@pardonmybag wonderful piece-are you seriously asking 5 for this?
pardonmybag
@katiedidit If someone were willing to pay it. I don't know it's true value. It was my aunt's and is over 100 years old.

@pardonmybag If anyone pays that I have some prime bridges they need to buy fast! These go from $25. to $500. for sterling silver and to about $1,000. for 14 kt gold. We just bought 1 about a month ago for $60. right here. It was not as nice as this one but it was very nice. This is a great design & peacocks are very collectible. Unfortunately people in posh seem to think sellers know what something is worth and I have seen plastic cameos sold as "vintage" at unreal prices-$40-$150.!! I have also seen 14kt & 2 carats of diamonds in a ring sell for $250.!!! What can I say? Ignorance can be deadly & after a person buys something for a huge price & takes it to be appraised and learns it is plastic junk there will be screams & accusations of fraud all around. Bad scene for everyone. Posh has enough scammers already! Check out the prices on Internet antique shops, Ruby Lane is 1, etsey has some, eBay I don't bother with, look around and see how much similar pieces are bringing-asking for & getting are VERY DIFFERENT values-you want price realized! Good luck-it is a very nice piece-@missflorentia - Barbara-any thoughts? Did I miss anything? Thanks-Kat
pardonmybag
@katiedidit I just put that amount on as "tongue in cheek" since I'm not sure if i want to part with it. I will check out the places you mentioned. It would be good to know what it might be worth. i certainly wasn't trying to be fraudulent I appreciate your input
katiedidit
@pardonmybag Oh I know you had no thoughts of fraud I just didn't want one of these idiot women to buy it & start a riot!! Most on here are wonderful BUT there are a few who are as mean as they come and some who would rather steal than be an honest person & I have run into more than my share of both! If you want top dollar for it you are better consigning it to a top of the line antique shop or an auction that specializes in pieces like this. If you don't need the cash then I would have it mounted in a double sided art frame & hang it on the wall like the piece of art that it really is! That way it is protected and you can enjoy it all the time-just keep it out of sunlight! Enjoy it!

@mica_craft , @missflorentia , @myboynamemerit , @jadenutt @katiedidit what a splendid piece!! I suggested framing it like art-anyone have an idea of true value? I am guessing around $1500 give or take a little
myboynamemerit
@mica_craft @katiedidit mom has a few of these kinds of bags not with peacocks though.. She would be in heaven with this. We raise peacocks

@myboynamemerit @katiedidit if you decide to put your moms for sale you know who to call first😃
pardonmybag
@myboynamemerit So you know what your mom paid for hers? I have no idea the worth of this one but am going to research it. Thanks!

@pardonmybag what is your purse's frame signed? I think yours is very rare design.
vintagestatus
Exceptional mesh.

Assuming it's sterling, I can imagine this bag would sell for around $350 in today's market. I deal in antiques- especially French, Italian and Victorian era.
myboynamemerit
@pardonmybag 😊I don't and she doesn't remember...she's had them for forever and wears them out on special occasions.😊i
Know she'd never pay 5,000 but she will often spend a few hundred to 500 on artisan things😊😊it'd have to be platinum and dripping in diamonds and even then she has so much family jewelry that is Creme de la creme that she rarely buys newer stuff😘😘😘@mica_craft I doubt she'll sell but if she does your up first:)!!😘😘😘 you know that !!☺☺☺u and my mom would be besties If she knew how to get on here:)...the Internet is still a mystery to her(hence why i list for her😊)....her last purchase was a squash bottom set that I love love love... Amazing:)...with coral.....check with @katiedidit she'd know better then me or my mom. We just both just buy what we love.. Truly beautifully bag though! Very special:)
pardonmybag
@katiedidit @myboynamemerit @mica_craft @missflorentia Ok. Check out the last picture I just posted of the signature on the inside. After several tries this is the clearest I can come up with.

@missflorentia THANK YOU Barbara, I was thinking it was sterling but it isn't. Great design though! If anyone would know current it would be you.
mica_craft
@katiedidit what do you think ours is worth. It's very pretty and a lot of detail when you see it😃
katiedidit
@mica_craft since I thought it was sterling and it is not, I agree with Barbara-in the neighborhood of 2-300. It is wonderful.
pardonmybag
@jadasmom Thank you for liking!!
jadasmom
@pardonmybag You're Welcome! It's a beautiful bag!!
pardonmybag
@jadasmom Thank you. I'm not asking $5000 for it. If interested please make me an offer!
jadasmom
@pardonmybag I wouldn't want to insult you by making too low of an offer. I love vintage things and know they can be expensive.
pardonmybag
@jadasmom No worries.
