Description: | The purse has a silver frame, marked with an anchor hallmark and the code '0273', and is retained in position by a spring clip. It also has silver fittings that are hallmarked and impressed with the text 'STERLING 1155'. The lining appears to be of sheepskin. The name of the maker is marked inside the purse, and there are three open pockets (two with gussets) and an enclosed pocket which is closed or opened by a clip. Elsie Wellum was the orginal owner of the purse. It was obtained for her by her sister, Josephine Jackson, who lived in San Francisco.
