I am wanting to know if anyone out there knows where I can find bags and/or purses with the label of Alentino, not Valentino. I had bought one for my mother over twenty years and she gets a lot of compliments from this piece and it already looks vintage. I do not remember where I had gotten this piece. I think it was a Dillards’s store in Lubbock, Texas.

I have had this Sterling Silver Gated Bag and have decided to now let some add to their collection. Gated bag is all original with Faceted Amethyst Stone as a wonderful accent that is so eye catching.
Purse is in excellent condition and with no repairs. It has been in my personal collection for over 35 years.

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
