    Description

    This is a beautiful Antique Tortoiseshell/Faux Tortoiseshell Coin Purse with "Gold/Golden Tone" with a little bit of "Mother of Pearl" Inlay (I think). There is a good working latch. Inside there is a blue satin lining which seems original and is in good condition. There are 4 compartments inside - one has a little latch. Some of the "gold" inlay is missing and there is a piece that is raised. There are 6 or 7 small "Mother of Pearl" inlay dots on the top, but several are missing. There is a floral design also where some of the "gold" has worn off. See the pictures for details, please.
    This belonged to my mother-in-law. I have no idea the origin of the coin purse or how old it is. I assume that it is antique and real tortoiseshell but cannot 100% guarantee it. It is in good shape. Some typical wear, especially in the inlay as noted.
    Measures approximately 2 1/2 inches by 1 3/4 inches.
    Antique black 1800s wallet with a hand written note! Good condition other than on of the pockets has some wear to the side pocket. Love the note on the inside. From 1873. Note was orginal to wallet.
