The Armour Archive

Up for sale is a 16th century purse based of off a museum picture I had. After looking through "Purses in Pieces", I believe this is a money changer's purse.

This is a large pouch made from elk skin, with veg tan accents. It has one main pouch and 6 smaller external pouchlets. Hand sewn.

I was originally going to ask $175 for this, as it took ALOT of leather (about 5 square feet of elk), alot of thread (about 50 yards), and many hours to complete.

Asking $125 plus shipping. SOLD - SHIPPED

Thanks,
Cat

Cat, how big is this pouch?

that you are quitting business makes me want to weep

Sha-ul,
Thank you for your kind words. Don't be sad. I will still be here and will check in, probably every day. Maybe someday I will get back into this.

The pouch dimensions are as follows:
Diameter across top: ~6.25"
Diameter at widest: ~7"
Depth: ~8"

This pouch will hold a good bit of smallish stuff, like wallets, cigs, cameras, PDAs, cell phones, etc. I have an older digital camera that's kinda big compared to new ones, and it holds that camera, a pack of cigs, my cell phone, my keys, and still has room left for a wallet and other small items like chapstick, matches, etc. Each of the outer pouchlets will hold a decent amount of period coins or other small items.

Thanks again,
Cat

Hi Cat,
Consider it sold! How much for shipping to 95014?

Hey Gethin,
Let me get this boxed up and I will get you a quote.

Thanks!

Gethin,
It looks like this will weigh around 1 pound, 12 ounces once packaged. That puts shipping at $7.96 for Priority, or $6.67 for Parcel Post. Insurance is optional, and will be an additional $2.60. I will pay for tracking.
