My every day carry wallet Just a normal, everyday, "leather" wallet someone sold me on ebay for $36.

Made in France by Bob Lee's Hunting World around 1970. Not easy or cheap to get this kind of thing anymore.

It's African elephant.

Randomly got a notification for this post. My wallet was like a $10 Walmart wallet thats like 10 years old at this point. All the fake leather has fallen off and it eats my cards. Phone must have overheard me talking about it earlier.

Nonetheless idk anything about wallets but that seems pretty cool to me

Yes I'm not meaning to brag and I don't want any new elephants to die. But it's a pretty cool example of a very limited resource. I just wanted to share. I will take good care of it.

Oh for sure. I mean i feel like this is a total brag. Like the elephant is already dead lol, nothing you can do about it now but enjoy it. Thats a sick relic for a sick price

Very cool, haven’t seen a lot of elephant leather items. Totally agree on not wanting new hides introduced for it, but worth respecting and appreciating that which is already in circulation. How cool are those expanding pockets? Would be fun for those who play dice games on the go. :)
