Hide-Away Garter Purse 1940s. Jiffy Coin Purse Co. Suede
mini purse (shaped like a tiny water bottle) to fasten to garter. Has metal snap
(green with age on the underside) and original instructions and (torn) plastic packaging. “…easily
attached to garter buckle inside your stocking” and “splendid gift for men and
women.”
I adore vintage novelty purses, although I don’t think this
was a novelty back in the ‘40s. I believe it was used for practical purposes.
How cool is it that it not only survived this long, but is in such beautiful
condition?
