Whiting & Davis Alumesh Cream Handbag Vintage

Humans have a deep desire to express themselves through cloth and accessory. Sometimes you have to fight for fashion! Did you know that during much of WWII the US had metal, including aluminum, restrictions in order to use these resources for war efforts? Whiting & Davis Co. stopped production of their mesh bags to produce radar equipment. After the war, they resumed production of their bags so that I could offer you this cream alumesh handbag. You can see that it made its mark in history, it's in my book! *large aluminum beadlite enamel mesh *navy blue grosgrain lining *small sidewall slip pocket *zipper closure *dual metal straps Label: Alumesh Bags, Whiting & Davis Co., Made in the U.S.A. 1940's vintage, note some slight enamel wear consistent with age, clean lining, the zipper works fine, but one of the teeth are missing Buy it before I change my mind! 😊
