just arrived from france, my new (to me) vintage black box sellier kelly 35. (GRIN) i just noticed the fingerprints in these pictures, but i'll have to do new ones some other time, because i just can't wait any longer to share this with my purse pals!
this is an oldie, with brass hardware, an open pocket instead of zippered and no "made in france" on the stamp . it needs to be stuffed (don't we all?
) to un-collapse it, one of the corners is a little bent, and the handle does shows wear. but the leather is smoothe, shiney and supple and i think it's in great shape for its age. the date stamp is a B with no circle -- which i think makes this a 1946 model!
I'm in love.
