Hi Trev -

this is a purse (inlet missing) - recognizable on the markings on the outside, size and the missing holders for the rubberbands for cigarettes.
Maker could be Ogorodnikow, Aleksandr Nikolajew, 1898.

most of the liners are made of silk - but the bigger purse´s liners (handbags) are often made of leather. I show some examples from my collection:
