Highly decorated floral guilloche enamel design on the top exterior purse frame and quite heavy overall for its size.  Wonderful motif and smooth patina of the silver frame.  Original finger chain is intact and attatched to antique purse.  The interior features several separate compartments for securing coins, vanity powder and rouge, and the original vintage mirror.  The mirror does have a crack and some damage and will probably need to be replaced or repaired.  I couldn't decide on which pictures to edit for the description so I just had to list them all below in order to show the amazing quality of this silver coin purse. Amazing and well-preserved condition with some scratches to the outside silver casing of the purse.  There is a maker's mark on the interior of the silver coin compact purse which reads:  FMCO.  The mark establishes the maker and date of the purse as Finberg Manufacturing Company Attleboro, Massachusetts and dates the purse to circa 1888.  The small silver company mark can be seen in my close-up pictures below.  This purse is simply stunning and I purchased several other similar items from the same Boston estate which shall be listed this week.  The guilloche enamel motif on the top exterior lid of the silver purse has a white overlay background displaying pink and blue florals with green vines.  The enameling is in near pristine conditon with no chips or cracks to the antique motif.   Measurements:  Purse:  3" in length and 2 1/2" in width / Purse length with the finger chain length is 8".  When the silver purse is opened it measures 5" in width.
