My father purchased this handbag for my Mother in Panama in 1946. My first memory of it was when I was about 10 years old. I can't recall my Mother ever using it. I asked her for it when I was about 16 years old - by then it was in an old dress up box. It had a stuffed baby aligator on the front that had seen better days. the stuffing was falling out of it. I disposed of the baby aligator and when I could afford it, I took it to an old bootmaker to put a new lining in it. I still use it today 55 years later.
I remember that handbag. I also remember the baby alligator on the front. Amazing, I had forgotten all about it. Glad to see it is still alive and doing well.
