"     This family heirloom has belonged to my family for at least 80 years. Do you have any information that you can give me about this metal mesh purse? Is it so valuable that I should refrain from using it? K.R., Torrance, Calif. In 1898, the Mandalian Company in North Attleboro, Mass., began making mesh purses and cuff links. The company eventually began to specialize in colorful silver-plated mesh purses. Such purses reached their height of popularity in the 1920s and &amp;#039;30s. The chain fringe on this purse is characteristic of those made by Mandalian. Value for these examples is based on condition. This one could be worth as much as $175 if the enameled paint is in perfect condition, with all of the mesh and the chain fringe intact.  valued at: $175 * The estimates provided are preliminary only and subject to change based onfirsthand inspection and further research.
