Looking for examples of a wallet in the post Civil War era. My character is a hunter/trapper.

Thanks,

Check back a couple of issues of Muzzle Blast. I think there was an article on how to make a wallet for storing and carrying items for trekking.

Wallet or or pocket book??

Post Civil War? As in after 1863?

Whichever a man would carry his paper money/IOU's in.

Yes 1863-1865.

I know that opinion is the lowest form of knowledge but i believe that paper money was not stored flat but rather rolled up and tied with a string. IIRC that is where the term payroll originated. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Just did a Google image search and found this one right off:

The internet is your friend. :wink:

Now, whether or not a hunter/trapper would actually be carrying one of these around on his person or not, I couldn't say.
