Beautiful rounded contours highlight this signed Florida Handbag tortoise Bakelite beauty. The oval body has a russet tone with vertical overdye striping. The elegant curved horseshoe handle has more of a yellow ochre tone (see detail.) Complete down to the acetate label and four clear hemisphere feet. Some plating wear on the three ball latches, otherwise excellent condition. Measures 7 1/8 x 4 x 3 1/4.

This item was part of the archives of the Bag Lady Emporium, originally in operation from 1996 through 2022 (Inventory ID A00291).
