Finally... I took some pictures of these miniwallets I made during the summer. The black one is for myself... I carry my credit cards and such in that, very handy, especially in the summer as I don't like to carry a handbag with me all the time.
A corner of the wallet I have been carrying for the last 35 years. It has developed a wonderful patina and is so familiar that I don't notice that there is no pull on the zipper and some of the stitching is fraying.

I got this embossed leather wallet about 1969-70. At the time my mother worked as a leather machinist for the small company making them. I did a few days working there one school holidays operating the leather embossing machine. Whether I embossed the leather for this wallet I cannot remember. The embossing on this (well worn and no longer used) wallet shows a NZ Maori Warrior.
The locking dome is showing verdigris.
Another photo in my stream (see first comment below) shows a telephone book cover also made in the same factory. The top left embossing is the Maori warrior that is on my old wallet.

Forgetting your wallet up there at home.
Realizing it only once reaching the bottom of the stairs.
Climbing back up while sighing about your lasck of attention.
Investigating everywhere and anywhere to find it, three times.
Not realizing that you had it all along, inside the other pocket.
---
Oublier son portefeuille en haut chez soi.
Réaliser une fois arrivé en bas des escaliers.
Ascensionner encore en soupirant sur son inattention.
Investiguer pour le retrouver partout et ailleurs, trois fois.
Ne pas se rendre compte qu'on l'avait déjà, dans l'autre poche.
Sixty years ago this spring (of 2023) my Grandfather passed away, he was only 63. – I remember that day very clearly, arriving home from grade school to find my Mom in tears, she had received the sad news just moments before. – I was about 7-1/2 years old at the time, and what an awful thing for any boy that age to lose his only Grampa (my other one had died before I was born) and in a way I have always felt cheated because of it.
What you are seeing here is my Grandfathers wallet, and most of what was tucked away inside on that day in 1963 when he died suddenly and unexpectedly. – A few days afterwards it was returned to my Mom (along with a few other items he had in his pockets), who put it all away until about forty years later at which time she asked me if I would take it.
What a man carries in his wallet really can provide a small glimpse into his life, and what kind of person he was. - Among the things my Grampa had in his was a photo of his three Daughters taken in the early 1940s when they were all still very young (my Mom is in the middle), and a photo of his only Son taken about 15 years later. – There were also a few prayer cards from the funerals of loved ones that were extra special to him, including that of his wife Viola, who died just before Christmas 1945. – There was a selective service card issued in February of 1942 (required at the time even though he was already past draft age), his social security card, health insurance card, union card, one of his last paycheck stubs and a hand-written list to remind him of the birthdays of all his kids and grandchildren, as well as a few assorted receipts. - No driver’s license, he had already given up his car years before to instead use the Milwaukee city bus for the trip to and from work.
The card with Grampas photo was his 1942 employee identification pass for Blackhawk Manufacturing , where he had worked since 1921. - He had a tremendous amount of pride in the number of years he had been employed at Blackhawk (including all through the lean times of the great depression), the large paper on the right was a program from Blackhawks 1959 annual “Quarter Century Club” dinner. - At that time, Grampa was a 38-year employee and number seven in seniority for the entire company, his name was listed inside along with many others who had 25 years or more of service, he was so proud of his loyalty to Blackhawk that he kept a copy of that program folded in his wallet to be able to show his friends at the neighborhood tavern just down the street from the South 77th Street rooming house where he lived.
One last important detail about what is pictured here – I was told Grampa had carried that nickel-sized, sterling silver Saint Christophers medal in his wallet since the late 1930s (both sides of it shown up close in the photo insert). – And right after I received my driver’s license in 1972, my Mom wanted me to start carrying that medal in my wallet, and it’s been with me everywhere I have gone ever since, along with many, many fond boyhood memories of Grampa Nick. - JH – March 2023
My wallet has many more cards than bank notes in it. It also has chain to attach the wallet to my belt to make it a bit more difficult to lose.

I finally have some of the Strike up the band and Paper Boats wallets that I designed for Tinymeat for sale in my Etsy shop!
My latest handmade wallet.
I've found the pattern in the local craft board, and made it.
It's very practical and useful, even though it's a kind of difficult in sewing.
I plan that I will use this fabric to make a matched card holder and mobile phone bag for myself too.
I hate carrying a purse, so in the winter when I have lots of pockets I'd much rather carry my little wallet. It's just big enough to hold my driver license, a couple credit cards and some cash for small purchases or tips.
The most compact wallet I've ever owned. Just enough room for a driver's license, a credit card or two, and a handful of bills.
After a few years in a man's back pocket his wallet becomes not just masculine but almost a part of the man. (As far as I know, women don't show enough loyalty to accessories that each becomes part of the other.)
