Vintage Bellestone Crocodile Or Alligator Purse/Hand Bag

Bellestone vintage Crocodile Or Alligator Purse in a doctors bag style. 10” l x 6 1/2” h x 4 1/2” d with ~5” drop. From the internet, “Bellestone Bags, Inc, did business in New York from the 1940's into the 1960's. Their were makers of highly desirable natural skin handbags, most often manufactured in Belgium and imported. Couture styling, superior quality skins and quality construction are their hallmarks. Sold in the finest department stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdale's, their bags are highly prized by knowledgeable collectors.” Clasps and hardware work great and interior is immaculate. However, there is evidence of work done to fix the leather on the handle, and therefore would grade this as only in “good” condition, as reflected in the price.
