Vintage Genuine American Alligator Handbag Top Handle Purse 1950/1960s

Elegant vintage genuine American alligator handbag dating to approximately the 1950s to early 1960s. This beautifully crafted top handle purse features rich chocolate brown alligator skin with striking natural scale variation, a structured silhouette, brass push lock closure, and a fully lined interior. A timeless investment piece that embodies classic mid century American craftsmanship. The handbag is unbranded and has no interior label or maker's mark. It includes a vintage Judith Leiber care card that was found inside when acquired. Because the handbag itself bears no identifying marks, I cannot authenticate it as a Judith Leiber piece. The card is included as found and is not represented as proof of the handbag's maker.
