we are dating this amazing wallet from 1886 because of a newspaper cutting inside dated from that period - it may be older its stunning and is made from smooth firm supple calf leather and is tooled and embossed with a wonderful scene of a man and woman dancing among flowers birds and butterflies and in the corner there is a child a young girl with a basket and a dragon and a young boy blowing bubbles there is also a stag deer with an arrow through its head and with a bugle around it - what an amazing picture! this wallet is suitable for anyone and is actually quite sturdy despite being silk lined the edges of the leather are inlaid in gold leaf - we have not touched or cleaned this in any way but a small wipe with a damp cloth and some wax polish will restore wonderful sheen and a pleasurable part of buying any vintage leather item - well i love it anyhow the wallet closes with a push button - its almost like a little front door bell push and this clips into a silver metal hole where there is a catch there is a silver metal plate and this is stamped electric at the reverse of the wallet behind the plate there is another plate which says regd 19844 MS the wallet is lined with light brown calf leather and silk and is really quite immaculate - there is an expanding section for notes on the left hand side and then in the centre there are two cmpartments also for notes and the front of this part is calf leather which has been embroidered in stunning colours of silk - this seems to have retained the colour as the wallet has been folded out of the sun for many years and there appears to be no deterioration a small back section for notes attached you will see the old notebook which is original and attached with cords - the notebook is also silk covered front and back and has approx 30 slightly yellowing pages - attached to the side there is a little slot for the pencil which still has lead inside and which works perfectly screwing off and on with no problem this is gorgeous item and although delicate it could be used gently - what a lovely gift for lady on her wedding or birthday on the birth of a child or an anniversary this needs polished on the outside and if anyone wants to buy this as a gift i would be more than happy to do this for you and gift wrap the item all at no extra cost - i dont do that because its like taking pleasure away from someone who loves to own and care for items like these themselves measures 4 x 5.5" and is slim when empty at approx 1/4 inch - it expands to hold 1.5" of notes and paper etc
