Help me date this purse - 30\'s?

Can anyone help me date this purse? My guess would be 30's, but I could be way off. On the inside it says Made In Czechoslovakia.

Thanks in advance! :)

Angela, that's adorable! I wish I could help on the date, but I can't.... I have a similar one, and I've not done anything with it 'cuz I'm unsure as to date. I'm pretty sure it's later than 20s, but vacillate between 30s & 40s.
 
Those beaded evening purses were being made well into the post-war years in Czechoslovakia and I'm not sure when those small metal beaded link chains that attach the zip to the finger hold started to be used. Showing the label would help and I have a feeling that this is much later than the 1930's.
 
I was looking through "Collectible Fashions of the Turbulent 1930's" by Ellie Laubner last evening and found a very similar evening purse on p. 119. It has a beaded strap, which yours does not, but it also has a "light switch pull" chain attached. Label made in Czechloslovakia.

Definitely 1930's.

Hey
Its not 30's .
30's is too old it's near about 50's.
