This stylish basket weave purse was quite the rage during the 1950s when Dorset Rex marketed this patented purse during the Eisenhower years. The patent was actually issued in late 1949, after which a wide range of purses entered the market. The Dorset Rex tag tells us that the purse was made after 1951, thus we date it c. 1955.

This purse is gold with reddish-brown, possibly deep mauve, lucite top which closes with an S-hooked clasp. The horse shoe handle rotates freely on pins...

The photo is hand inscribed in silver marker: "Thank you! Daniel Radcliffe AS Harry Potter". No date.

Offered is a vintage orange-colored knit tunic such as would be worn by Star Trek series star William Shatner, along with a hand signed photo of him. Acquired in New England, I had investigated the possibility of this being a show-worn artifact, which would have been worth perhaps $10,000 in the open market for entertainment memorabilia. A number of inquiries to auction house specialists have led to a conclusion that this tunic is older, perhaps 1970's, but that it is definitely not a show-wor...
