I need any information I can find about this. It is about 2-1/2 × 4 inches. It is signed by Whiting & Davis. It is from the early 1930’s Searching for details of any kind, including ideas about the best high end Auction house for it…Sotheby’s, Butterfields,

What a darling little find! If it were mine (due to the small size of the bag) I would contact the big 3 auction houses that sell dolls…Frashers, McMasters Harris, Theriaults.

I would totally keep this :) I looked at the website mentioned above and then Googled this bag. It is at $230 but the estimated value is rated on that site as “I” which is valued at $400-$700. The auction price is at $230 but the actual value of it is between $400-$700. :) Good find Blarney :) Good Luck!

Oh, my! That purse is adorable!!! I would try asking $600.00 for it.

It looks like yours is in better condition than the one that sold for $230 too. Awesome find! I can’t help either, but just had to say kudos on the great find!!
