Wow!! They are all beautiful. Imagine the hours it took to hand sew them! My grandmother was born in 1893. I have purses she handed down. One of them has a big ring like your sterling purse has. She told me that it was to attached to the belt loop of a woman’s skirt so that here hands were free.
I love my antique purse collection…I display them on walls around my antique mirrors so I can enjoy them..thank you for giving me some historical background. I originally bought them because I thought they were pretty and brought back a time long gone.
Such fascinating pieces of antiquity and the stories behind them are just as interesting. When you look at them, you wonder what kind of journey they've gone through. Everytime I visit a thrift store or antique shop and see these items, I often wonder the trip through time that these treasures have taken.
😵😵😵😵. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to see that collection in person? I'm always amazed at the work and artistry in these small little treasures. The bridal purse is my favorite. The gorgeous white beading, the monogram and the sterling frame are the "Perfect Storm" for me! 😍. The little square sterling evening necessities purse is a close second, I enjoyed seeing your collection again because I had forgotten about a couple of them and I cannot wait for part two. 😍😍 👑👑😉😉
Don't you wish things were made like they use to be? There is so much attention to detail. I often think of the artists that makes the piece. So gorgeous!
I am a Dutch American and there is a museum on the Herengracht St canal. Too bad I never saw this residence. It is an expensive street. That was so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
I have been loving all these latest videos. Love all the hidden secrets in these old pieces, you truly can tell you love them all and enjoy them all. Thank you for sharing
My mom always had a pack of sen sen in her purse, maybe that's why I like black licorice so much! I see they are no longer produced, happy I found a packet at a candy store one time. Thanks for the memories 🙂❤️
I am really enjoying looking at, and admiring, your purse collection! Each is lovely in its own way! The damage to the fabric of the rose purse is called shattering and happens frequently to old silk . It's caused by tiny crystalline salts that are bonded to the fibers. As the threads weaken through age, dryness, and stress, the sharp salts act like minute razors that slice apart the delicate threads. The white "bridal purse" has beautiful, delicate marcasite work that would seem to indicate a French or possibly German origin. It could be 800 silver, instead of 925 (sterling) which was commonly used in Europe. Could the lining been replaced? It really seems so pristine and white for its age. The sterling piece is called a necessaire or dance compact or dance purse because it was just the size to have if you were out on the dance floor! I love what you can learn about history, the way people lived, what they found important and what they enjoyed all from a small thing such as a purse! I own a few and I have a lovely deco leather handbag that has a mirror, a pencil and a check receipt for a deck chair from a famous ocean liner! I like to imagine whose purse it was and what she was doing on that liner! .
This is more fun than anyrhing!!!! The Rosebud Lip Rouge and the Flesh face powder/creme is amazing. You find the sweetest items! And I love watching and listening to you. I can HEAR your smile even when I can't see your face😄👵🦋. PBS has a wonderful British show running on our local station about EARLY ROMANCE. I know you would love it💖 PBS website would have it or their TH-cam might also. But as I've watched the first 2 episodes you came to mind🌹
Oh my goodness! You find the most awesome pieces to collect. Very beautiful collection, my favorite is the little silver petit bijou....what style. Awaiting Part II.
There is so much history to each piece you find. It's so interesting to follow you and learn and appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship! Thank you so much for being the lovely soul that you are! ❤
Loved this vlog. I have a large collection of antique purses and compacts. I never get tired of looking at them. Or anyone else's collection. Thank you it was fun. God bless you
Love how you appreciate and share all the little details...the birds where the chain attaches is wonderful on the rose purse! Your camera is amazing on close-ups!
Your little purses are beautiful, I love seeing a young person love older things.You have so many wonderful collections for someone as young as you are,and so many more years to collect.I was an antique dealer for over 20 years and gave it up once the grandkids started coming .I have learned so much from you about such interesting items.My husband and I still love thrifting and antiquing .I've been on the lookout for the Victoria magazines at the thrift store, haven't found any yet, they look so interesting. Can't wait for part 2 of your purse collection.
Because of you I just subscribed to Victoria magazine. I’m loving what you show in these mags. I’ve bought a few here and there through the years but lately I don’t see the mag in my area. So, I can’t wait to get my first magazine! Woot woot!
@12:57 Charmant. American. Charmant Speciality Co, Long Island City, New York. A minor manufacturer of face powder and rouge in compact form, Charmant Speciality Co was established in 1912 by Saul Abrahams. The company sold compact powder refills using the brand name Bunne but reference to the company is most often seen with the word Charmant appearing on powder compact paper covers, on the base of compact refills or on puffs. Charmant did market a few compact cases in its own right - all marked Charmant - but these are hard to find. The company ceased operations in about 1929.
Thank you. I was in the middle of teaching class and the notification came on my phone from TH-cam. It was so funny. I did tell my students and they were so kind.
I love this collection. I really love all of your collection videos but, this one taught me a lot. I don't know much about antique purses. That silver hard case wallet/purse is so special.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 I wonder things like that, too with the treasures that I have collected. How they traveled to become part of my life, and end up in a good home! (With me ❤️)
When you opened the purse that you believe is a bridal Purse I noticed that the lining was not a smooth oval where it is sewn to the frame. This leads me to believe the lining has been replaced. I think that the discoloration of the purse and the missing beads means that this purse has seen much use and the lining needed to be replaced. Of course this is just my opinion from looking at it on screen. I do agree with you that it is a beautiful purse with it's own history which we will never know for sure. Thank you for showing us your lovely collection. I am always in awe of the wonderful antiques you are able to find.
Good point. The lining could be replaced. I know on the screen it looks like the white beads are discolored and gray but in person it is a clean and pristine as can be.
These are beautiful the detail on them is lovely. The engraving and the clasp and monogram on the last one. Have you seen bags decorated with the curly phone cables on old phones. I'd never heard of them until I saw them on TH-cam they are very collectable.
I'm sorry I don't have any money to give you for a town home to display your beautiful collection - but I hope someone does!😃 I am in deep love with the JAB finger purse.💖I forgot about everything else once I saw that. 😊✨💕
I'm wanting to say it doesn't matter but not 100% sure. I liked your videos. I also learned that if the word Italy is stamped anywhere on it it's real as well.
Easiest way to find out if something is sterling or real gold is to rub a little base makeup on your hand and rub what you think is silver or real gold across the makeup and if it leaves a black mark it's real silver or gold. I learned this in my marketing class back in 1985 and it hasn't failed me yet.
Love the blue purse with the birds on the frame! Is it for sale by any chance? Willing to pay any amount! I collect antique purses and have never seen one like it!
@@TarnishedTreasures1 That beauty would make anyone want a purse collection! I have been collecting for about 20 years now. I love all my purses but my favorites are a Japanese one and one that has a large angel frame.
LOL. When I was a small child my mom and dad had some marital problems. It seems that Daddy liked other women and would, at times, stray away from home. One night he was coming in late and mama was watching out of the window. He drove up, opened his door, popped a couple of SinSin breath fresheners in his mouth, combed back his hair, reached down and took a little dirt from the floor of the car to put on his hands, and came in the house. When he entered the house he immediately started telling her that he had a flat tire and had trouble getting it fixed and that was why he was late. She slapped him upside the head with a magazine and all hell broke loose. To this day with the mention of SinSin, flat tires, or magazines I think of my parents and how crazy our life was made by their disagreements.
My dad did the same a few times but those old cast iron skillets will straighten a man up (or double him over lol). Glad we find humor in our childhood of unusual circumstances (or maybe they weren't that unusual). 🙂
the white purse is extremely beautiful, she probably had a camphor glass pendant to match. in the necessaire the pink powder is called rouge and it is a "Little Gem" (or Jewel).
You need to quit-I want to collect purses now...and mirrors...and silver pieces and etc, etc. Apparently, if you like something it’s automatically cool to me also 🤣. Anyway, congrats on reaching 10,000 subscribers! It’s just further evidence that you have great style!
Lol!!! I’m dying!! I’m the same way! If I’m walking around the store and Someone picks up something I overlooked I will literally get closer just to see what it is. It’s like it doesn’t interest me until it interests somebody else!
Wow!! They are all beautiful. Imagine the hours it took to hand sew them! My grandmother was born in 1893. I have purses she handed down. One of them has a big ring like your sterling purse has. She told me that it was to attached to the belt loop of a woman’s skirt so that here hands were free.

I absolutely love vintage purses. I always wonder what type of woman used these purses. Thank You for sharing. Can’t wait for more. 💜😍✨👛👝
So happy the purses found a loving, appreciative home.

The bridal purse is just gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely purse collection. 😻☮️
Thank you!!
Wow! I love little hidden treasures like that. How fun and beautiful.
As a fellow antique/vintage purse enthusiast I loved seeing your collection. The stories behind them were great too!
I collect metal mesh purses!!! Thanks for this video. Lovely purses!!!
You are so welcome!
Your purse collection is so beautiful, my favorite was the ringlet.
I collect purses, too. The finger ring one is usually called a necessaire or a marathon purse. I love them! I have a few that I just love!
What an amazing collection!! Thanks for sharing all of the little details!!

Your videos are always my favorites. I think the little silver makeup piece maybe for a Chatelaine.
It could be. I’d love to find some more pieces for Chatelaine.
Absolutely beautiful collection! 💗🥰💗
Beautiful purses! Also, congrats on 10,000 subbies! TFS.

The compact purse just transport you to a smoky, glitzy, jazzy, nightclub full of exciting and exquisite people.
Yes!!!

The silver coin purse is amazing, I wonder who originally used it and what nights out they had..
You’re telling me!! I wish I knew.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 I wonder things like that, too with the treasures that I have collected. How they traveled to become part of my life, and end up in a good home! (With me ❤️)
I believe they were worn inside pockets , like inside a large pocket of walking skirt .
Love this beautiful collection. Every purse is stunning
Love it! I have silver coin purses, compacts and makeup cases! Keep up the good work!
What a lovely video xx
You have a beautiful collection. I started collecting antique purses last year and started displaying them on the wall. Love them.
Yes!! I’d love to see videos of your collections.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 okay I'll do that in the future for sure.
Love that white purse thanks for sharing
Beautiful collection
Lovely... I’m waiting for part 2! 🤗👩🏻🍳
Congrats on your 10,000 subbies! My favorite is the sterling, finger purse! So neat!

Would you consider filming how you display your purses? You gave me a good idea for my bathroom.
Sure. I’ll include it in a video soon.
These are beautiful the detail on them is lovely. The engraving and the clasp and monogram on the last one. Have you seen bags decorated with the curly phone cables on old phones. I'd never heard of them until I saw them on TH-cam they are very collectable.
I have not seen them but I’m about to look them up.
OK I just looked at some pictures. They’re really awesome with the patterns they create.
About to look them up too. TY
Love the collection so far!💗👛
Soooo interesting. Love your Chanel 😊

Beautiful 😍

You have the best treasures 😊👍
I'm wanting to say it doesn't matter but not 100% sure. I liked your videos. I also learned that if the word Italy is stamped anywhere on it it's real as well.
I always carry at least 1 or 2 safety pins in my wallet. One never knows.😁
Smart!

That sound fun! Like liquid foundation?
And does it have to be tarnished or polished first?

Could that compact be from a Chatelaine? Not on the finger?
