VINTAGE 1950s TORTOISESHELL ACRYLIC BOX PURSE This striking, rare 1950s mid-century box bag is crafted from beautiful mottled tortoiseshell acrylic/lucite and is in excellent vintage condition. Sourced from a single original owner (my mother’s personal collection), this is a truly unique, hard-to-find statement piece. The acrylic pattern features an incredible richness and dimension in the light, showcasing a semi-transparent mottled yellow and brown design that perfectly mimics natural turtle shell. The construction features an immaculate seaming technique, where the top & bottom are each a single piece curved front to back, joined flawlessly to flat sides. It is both lightweight & sturdy. Product Details & Mechanics Hardware: Brass hinges and smooth-moving brass pin handle attachments on each side. Closure: Features an integrated, matching tortoise-colored acrylic latch that snaps securely into place over a small acrylic ball knob. Handle: Structured matching acrylic top handle. Measurements Box Dimensions: 6.75” Long x 3” Wide x 4” High Handle Drop: Extends 2.5” above the box Style Notes & Versatility: Perfect for collectors of mid-century fashion, rockabilly styles, or true vintage statement accessories. Its structured, compact size makes it an excellent, lightweight travel companion for evening events, weddings, or retro styling.
