INCREDIBLY RARE FIND!!
Vintage Wool Plaid Bermuda Cedar Clutch-Purse with 2 Yards of MATCHING Fabric!
This purse was originally purchased by my aunt with its generous 2 yards of matching 54" fabric to sew a matching outfit. However, the purse was never used--nor the clothing made. SO, this vintage purse and fabric are still stunningly LIKE NEW 70-ish years later!
