Antique Automobile Figural Driving Cap Coin Purse

Collectibles : Transportation : Coin Purse : Figural Hat Shape : Early Automobilia

 

A charming little piece of history, quite a rare item. Circa early 1900's, a figural coin purse in the shape of a driving cap or hat, the lid embossed with an image of three ladies driving an automobile. Ornate initials "MR" decorate the leather. Two buttons, one on each side are pushed causing the lid to spring open and reveal a leather pouch to hold your coins. Measures 3" by 2 5/8" by 1/2" high. This is in exceptional condition, with the expected patina on the metal, leather is soft and nice condition as well, the color is a bit more muted then the what shows in the pictures. Equally as appealing to the collector of ladies purses, and those who covet antique automobilia items.
