I found these items from a middle aged man who received them from his grandma.

I am not very good at dating purses and hats.

Velvet hat/turban had #22 in it.

The leather briefcase's zipper, it wrote Prentice USA. I searched Prentice bags and I found some 1940s and 60s clutches.

Jenny please could keep your posts about one item (type at least) - it makes it easier to discuss them seperately.

The crochet bag looks 1930s to me, there were kits and patterns in magazines to make bags like this at home around that time.

If you would post more detailed photos of the other items in seperate threads, I'm sure we can help you.
 
Sorry, I just don't like be a spammer. :USING:

Since we are talking about the crochet bag here. Here are some more pictures.
There are beads all over the bag and the beads are crocheted onto the bag.
Not sure what is bead's material.

Also I will repost other items in new posts.
 
The purse looks like it is from 1910 to 1920. The briefcase looks like it is from the 1910's. It was a popular style then. No idea on the turban, sorry!
