Dating a vintage purse

Hi!

This is my first post here and I really don’t know how to start off. But, here is the story: recently I purchased two vintage purses (one beaded one-that I am sure that is from the 50’s and one that is a little more simple and quite “older” in comparison with the beaded one-from my point of view) What I really want to know is if anyone can help me with dating this purse. About the material, I don’t know what it is, but it has a really stiff-like texture and i think it’s a textile one. The dimensions of the purse (without measuring) are quite little/petite, as it’s an evening purse.

Here are a few pictures with the purse:

It might also be 50s... can you get in there closer to the lining? are there any pockets or interior compartments?

Thank you so much for your response!
Regarding the interior I have taken a closer picture of it and also of the back. (The condition of the purse isn’t a really good one and it desperately needs cleaning.)

Here are the pictures:

Thanks for the extra pics. I think it's late 40s/early 50s... what would you say the lining fabric is? Acetate?

Unfortunately I don’t know what the lining fabric is (I have a very limited knowledge of fabrics), but it feels like one that can be used at making clothing (shirts especially-at a first touch you can feel it’s “rich” texture) and for other things, so it may be acetate.

Here I’ve tried to capture the fabric closer (after cleaning it):
