Rare Chauffeur's Cap Purse Antique Auto Scene

This is a wonderful item for the collector of rare antique car memorabilia. It is a very well made and detailed change purse in the shape of a chauffeur’s cap made out of chrome-plated metal and good quality leather. The top has a detailed inset relief scene of two people being driven by a chauffeur down a country road in a vintage touring car. There is a split rail fence to the left of the car and trees on both sides of the road. The leather has a fine feel and there is an elegant script monogram on the top which is MAM bracketed by curlicues. There is a double spring catch securing the top. The inside is lined with fabric. The purse measures about 2 3/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches and is 1/2-inch deep when closed but the leather expands to make it about 1-inch in depth.
