   I have a W & D gold gate top purse that I gave to my bridesmaids in 1970. I neever knew that it was a vintage style. I am not selling but would like to know what it is worth.

   It depends on the condition. I’d guess between $50-150. Check out eBay — the prices are all over the place.

   I have the Renee Adoree bag which was released in the 1970′s. Had no idea this was a special bag until I saw one of the other of the series of 4 on ebay. Need to sell. Last info I can get on a sale was in 2006 – sold for $2124. Any suggestions as to who best to contact.

   I recently had one of these gate top silver mess bags stolen and it belonged to my grandmother. I would be really interested if you could let me know if you have one of these bags, how much they are etc because i dont hold much hope of getting the original back . Thankyou.

    I have one similar to the “Wanting” picture but a bit more elaborate. Has a skirt with attached silver balls. The cap of the gate top is a compact and inside is a small powder puff with attached ribbon bow. It is stamped as Whiting & Davis and “Patent Pending”. The patent for the gate top was applied for in 1915 and issued that same year. Will sell for the right price. If interested contact judibob@cfl.rr.com
