Civil War TOBACCO Fabric Wallet, RED GOLD VINES Handsewn Civilian Soldier

Description

TP59H - Up for auction is a Civil War era Money Wallet/Pouch, works great for period money or modern credit cards etc.. While I do not have specific documentation of the item, I made this for myself and it works well and so, I figure that a soldier of the period may have fashioned something similar. The pouch itself is lined with BROWN leather with a 100% cotton RED w/GOLD FLOWER fabric outside and off white ducking lining for upper flap.  The fabric is an authentic reproduction material, heavier than normal printed fabric The pouch is hand sewn with 5-6 stitches per inch with White cotton thread, The pouch is designed to fold three times to secure your valuables in the pouch. Pouch itself measures
3 1/2" X 6 1/2", item is new made and never used. Great for soldier or civilian alike or Cowboy reenactors, CAS, living historians of the Victorian era. Heck, I use mine for everyday usage!! Also works great for a tobacco pouch for the pipe smoker wanting a period method to carry your favorite smoking material. I will say that the leather pouch does dry your tobacco out so I would not recommend it for long term storage of high quality tobacco.
MONEY & CARDS NOT FOR SALE AND ARE PICTURED FOR SCALE PURPOSES ONLY.
