The rhinestones look to be attached to an open weave crochet/net. Inside says AB, Made in USA. Anyone know the age?

I'm wondering if A.B. refers to the type of crystal and not brand the manufacture used or known to use, with this bag it would be crystal clear which is different in finish to A.B. crystal.

If some A.B. has been used that puts bag firmly into the 50s, if not then the 40s but no earlier then that.

To my eye, I see late 40s.
