I got this today at a very random place. It came with another smaller one inside. I know it is brass and copper but that it about all I know. There are no markings on it besides its design on the bag itself. I don't know age, where it came from or any idea who made it. Any ideas would help so much!! Thanks!

I'm not sure but it looks like a 20's or 30's purse. I'll do some Google work and see what I come up with. :)
This was my first Bing search result and it looks a lot like your purse. This is the link. http://2chic4shabby.com/items/edwardian_brass_and_copper_purse.aspx
