Charles Kahn-Gold Lucite bag
Glorious gold Charles Kahn Lucite bag. The diagonally carved 3/8" thick Lucite lid and contoured strap handle compliment each other beautifully. The gold three-ball latch and other metal hardware really sparkle. There is no label but style, color and hardware are clearly Charles Kahn.

4) Inventory # A00308:
Florida Handbags-Clear trapezoidal bag with acetate costume
This remarkable Florida Handbag was a real education to me. I’ve had the clear trapezoidal body of the bag before, and never realized it came complete with a wardrobe of flexible acetate costumes that fit over the front latch and snap closed at the back! One can only imagine the myriad of choices that one might have had for the costuming of this bag!. Please check the detail picture to get an accurate idea of the unique shape of this bag. It’s TRAPEZOIDAL, not rectangular, but it shows best photographed top to bottom! This bag’s only defect is a tiny chip in the back top corner of the lid (see detail.) Four clear hemisphere feet. Complete down to the label. The diagonal measurement from corner to corner is 9 1/2 x 3 3/4 x 3 inches.

5) Inventory # B00281:
Florida Handbags-Kidney shaped body
Curvaceous unmarked Florida Handbag with gently upswept bottom line, countering the kidney shaped body and reverse curved clear Lucite handles. The diamond carved 1/4" thick Lucite lid has softened corners. The dainty 3-ball latch is more petite than some and compliments the overall elegance of the bag. There is some evidence of chemical reaction (probably perfume) in the interior that shows slightly when light comes through the body of the bag. When the bag is full, it's invisible. Measures 10 x 3 1/4 x 3 1/2".
