LeAnn Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 08/17/2006 5:30 pm I really like this object I saw on treasurenet.com forum and would really like to know what it is and how old it is. I never have seen this before. Image: no.two.jpg 58.48 KB Image: no.three.jpg 37.97 KB There are more pictures on treasurenet.com forum under "Todays Finds" something about coolest find ever, or something like that. If you can't find it let me know and I'll write down the exact words. My memory hasn't gone, it's just slipping.lol Thanks to everyone here, you guys are really smart and I figured you would know what it is; if it has to do with coins. Thanks for the help.

ducky1100 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 08/17/2006 9:40 pm They usually hold a couple of dimes and a couple of nickels. They were for the Young Ladies, so that they would have change for the PHONE BOOTHS, when there were PAY PHONES. You know back in the Dark Ages, when the Dinosaurs roamed the earth, pre Cell Phones. Believe me, I'm OLD enough, my Mother had something very similiar. Edited by ducky1100 08/17/2006 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My sister had something simular to this but it was a watch that flipped up and could hold I think like 50 cent Report this Post to the Staff

LeAnn Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 08/18/2006 3:05 pm FOR THE RECORD: This item was found by a member of treasurenet.com and NOT me. I was just so overwhelmed when I saw it, I copied her pictures and posted them here to see if anyone knew what it was. I apologize to everyone here and at treasurenet.com. Here is a quote from the finder: "I see where they think its from the 40's or 50's or even 60's its not .Tell them its a early 1900's coin holder from the Egypt Revival period .Its made of german silver. Its the same thing as a coin purse.i have been reseaching it since the day I found it.LOL all is forgiven just set the record straight over there " Sorry about that everyone.
