Need Help Identifying these items, some are antique and some are vintage I have had a hard time finding the description and exact year that these were made and also the value of such items. My purpose for needing these is to sell off the items at the correct price.
Thanks,
Jimmie

The one at the top is a silver coin purse, sometimes referred to as a compact because they often have a place for powder and/or a mirror in addition to the coin holders. The value depends on the condition, but you can find lots of these on Ebay or Ruby Lane, just enter silver purse in the antiques section and you'll a handful of them. That should give you a pretty good idea on the price. The prices seem to range from about $60 to $150 or $200 on the high end. Correct me if I'm off on this guys, but I think these were popular from about the 1890's through the 1920's.
