Whiting & Davis - Silver Gate-Top Mesh Purse

These are getting so hard to find. Especially one that is in this condition. A Whiting & Davis, mesh purse with a gate-top. The gate tops are what makes this purse special. That and the fact that this one is in "as new" condition. The lining is silver grey and "crisp". The tag is still there, as you can see in the photograph.

Measuring just under 6" in depth, the expandable gate opens up to just about 4" diameter (without stretching!) which makes it an easy bag to keep a few necessities in.
