Impressive and rare Toro Lucite tortoise shell purse, a fantastic look from the mid-20th century and very avidly collected today. It's a real beauty, with alternating darker and lighter vertical areas of color that really catch the light, and a cool brass highlight rim forming the lower part of the handle which retains its original patina. We love the contrast between the tortoise shell Lucite and the clear Lucite geometric grid top, which lifts up to reveal the nice size interior and the Toro NYC mark impressed in the metal hinge. The box style purse measures approximately 3.75" high not including the handles which extend upward another 5.0", 8.0" wide, and 4.0" deep. This style is very hard to find, partially because of its classic looks and colors which look great with most anything. The purse is in very good condition, with some minor age wear to the darker color seams in a few places, and the original clasp is missing one brad which can be readily replaced. There are no cracks or damage, and it retains its 4 original metal ball feet as it comes to you from a Malibu, CA hilltop estate.
