Antique German Silver mesh purse 1900s, floral Art Deco frame, chain handle,

Antique German Silver mesh purse 1900s, floral Art Deco frame, chain handle. See photos for measurements. This is German Silver, not sterling silver. German silver, despite its name, contains no actual silver. It is an alloy primarily composed of copper, zinc, and nickel, and sometimes includes trace amounts of lead and tin. The name "German silver" comes from its silvery appearance due to the nickel content. The value for this bag is for the antique value.
