    Crocodile skin handbag

    Hi I'm wondering if you could tell me anything about this bag which I have. It has a stuffed crocodile on the front of it too. It has a zip on it which has the name lightining on the zipper.

    I came across some similar ones on the web. They seem to date to the 40's / 50's /60's . The prices vary from £15 upwards.

    Lightning is a Canadian zip maker. Their zips are found on bags from the 40's / 50's.

    thats right

    1940's , some can be quite collectible , at the right vintage fair i could see £100 changing hands for a bag like that in good condition

    Last month I bought a couple very similar to what you have.

    I put them in Charles Hanson auction.

    Disappointed only brought £20 each
