Vintage Tatted Coin Purse Bag Green Lining Ribbon Drawstring 1900s

noneofyourbusiness — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 20:14:24 +0000

Dating from the early 1900’s – 1920, a hand tatted coin purse in an ecru color. A sweet style, the bag is lined in a green taffeta fabric. Remnants of a silk ribbon drawstring, also in a green.

Length of the bag is 4″ long x 3-1/4″ wide, at the widest point. Perfect size for those coins!

Condition: The tatting is very nice in a lovely pattern. I noticed some slight shredding of the lining but ever so. The silk ribbon drawnstring would need to be replaced, which could easily be done if you were using the little bag. Would be neat just for display, too, with other old items.
