Lucite Purse / Hand Bags

In the late 1940s, a new plastic called Lucite was introduced. Most Lucite bags are square, rectangular, oval, or trapezoidal. Metal mounts are usually brass. Handles, made of carved Lucite, graduate from a half inch to two inches wide. Design, color, trim, and condition are the most important factors to consider when purchasing Lucite bags -- those with cracks, crazing, or warping cannot be repaired. *The estimates provided are preliminary only and subject to change based on firsthand inspection and further research.
