Inside there is a Full Mirror that fits the lid. Some History of the Wilardy Handbags: Wil Hardy joined his father's company named Handbag (Metal) Specialities. Toward the end of WWII he was able to get some damaged airplane noses that were made of lucite. During that period leather and suede were in scarce supply so this was a perfect solution. He designed a lucite jewelry box and what is exciting he brought it to the buyers of Saks Fifth Avenue New York. They loved it and asked him to add a handle and the rest was history.Measurements - Length - almost 10. 75" Width - 4. 5" Height - 4" without the handles, 8. 5" with the handles This should hold any size Cell Phone You Use. MINT CONDITION - This Lucite Handbag does not have any clouding, scratches, warping, crazing, chips, or smells at all. The lid closes very well, but will open if the purse is turned upside down. As all of us normally carry our handbags in such a way this would never be an issue. I just like to be perfectly transparent. All of my lucite handbags will have the lucite cleaned and shined, and the brass or silver will also be polished ready for your Next Outing!
