50’s Snakeskin Box Purse Handbag genuine fur shawl The U-shaped scoop-neck bodice isPython skin handbag from the 1950's. Box purse style with a short wide handle. Body measures 4 x 4 x 8 inches. Handle is 1 inch wide and 16 inches long. Interior is finished with a black acetate with a small side pocket. Makers mark is stamped on the side pocket but I can't read it. As for the condition, the skin does need some conditioning using a cream just for use on skins. Otherwise is it a cute 1950's box purse to accessorize with. Alley Cats
