Vintage leather "fill in the blank"
« on: July 02, 2013, 12:47:18 pm »
Not sure what this is. I thought perhaps a change purse, but that doesn't entirely fit with how this item is laid out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The one I had was perfect size for folded bills and you could see the denomination at top !!  Of course in the 40`s $10. was a lot of money to carry around !!

The bill fold measures 3 5/8" x 5" when closed and 3 5/8" by 9 1/2" when opened.
