Very interesting and unique this is a beautifully made leather satchel style purse with a cross engraved on the front and lilies. It has a arts & crafts style to the design with a bit of a western edge. It is also stamped Cordova Shop, Buffalo. Though hard to read, I am familiar with their mark and a little bit of their history, their shop opened in 1908 and I would date it to about that time based on the design and hardware.

Inside it has a green colored suede lining and several compartments including a main one with a snap closure. It also has a mirror with a leather backing. There are two pockets, one for the mirror, but it has separated on the sides.

Beautifully crafted, I imagine this was possibly made to order. Along with the hand tooled front, there is also leather stitching that runs around the edges and attaches the handle. Just all beautifully made and a unique piece with I'm sure and equally interesting history.

Over all it is in excellent antique condition, there are obvious signs of wear and age, most obvious on the left bottom side of the front flap. This is where you would go tot open it, see close up photo. The leather is soft and very high quality, the type that gets better with age and use.

Billfold style it measures 10. 5 x 6
