Hi there, new to the site. Wondering if anyone can help find the value and maybe some history on an item. It is a small ring mail purse. I beleive it is made of silver. It was among my late grandfathers posessions. He was a canadian soldier in WWII. So thinking it possibly is from europe. Any help would be much appreciated
If it were silver it would be stamped somewhere on it !! These were not usually made of silver except German silver which has no real silver at all !! All countries have regulations on precious metals so there would be at the least a purity mark such as the US which has a 925 purity mark for sterling !!
Many purses similar to this were made in the early to mid 1900`s !! Only the more unusual types sell well !! Like yours are usually around $30. !!
Would be worth more as a keepsake since it was your fathers !!
