"Glasses? Or is it the top of an umrella/walking stick handle?"

The way that she has it tucked in to her side I would think that you will find that it is her handbag rather than anything else.

OR.

Yes I think it is a handbag with a metal clasp on the top.

Well....old rowley has weighed in on this thread, and his silence on the subject of my guess at a date speaks volumes ;D ;D ;D

Daisy, there isn't anything OR doesn't know about fashion history, and as he didn't offer a correction I think you can take "late 1930s" to the bank ;D

Cheers,

It seems that the date fits better with another "grandmother" who passed away in 1940 at aged 77.  
Thank you for all your help everyone.
