I don't know if any of you guys like old vintage wallets. I do. Here's a pair of NOS ones I scored from my local Goodwill. I guess you'd call them billfolds. Must've been gifts or something for someone who passed on. They're in perfect shape. The Swank has a nice photo clip and leather cover clasp. I like how the Tuerkes & Beckers is unfolded, kind of like an open crown fedora when it's new. Both are cowhide.

I have a few, though the shape of the old wallets is not ideal in these days of credit cards and pants pocket carry.
This is a nice old one. Still has the remains of a vintage postage stamp stuck inside, which allows me to pretty accurately date it to 1961.

My birth year wallet!
I have these two as well, which are in pretty good shape. The black one is seal skin, which I guess you don't see much anymore. The brown one looks to be government issue, and the stamp says "British Forces, Commonwealth, Japan", which again helps date it from somewhere between 1945 and 1952.
