Small personal items have a way of getting lost in a haversack, coat pocket, or the bottom of a knapsack. Our Civil War-era style coin purse gives you a practical place to keep coins, a key, medication, or other small necessities close at hand and secure.
Based on an original example we obtained, this reproduction features a leather exterior, steel frame, and leather interior dividers. At just 3.5 x 2.25 inches, it takes up very little room while giving you a dedicated place for the small things you don't want loose in your pockets or gear.
A useful addition to a Civil War impression. Coin purses of this type have been found in Civil War relic collections and are commonly encountered in camp digs, yet reproductions have been impossible to find. We wanted to offer one for reenactors and living history enthusiasts who pay attention to the smaller details that make an impression feel complete. This is an item that could easily be overlooked when assembling an impression, but it helps bring the everyday personal belongings of a Civil War soldier into the picture.
Whether you're putting together a carefully researched impression, adding period-appropriate personal effects to your gear, or simply looking for a compact leather purse for everyday use, this little purse has a practical purpose beyond its historical interest.
