Thread Name: BS: Trick Wallets info please
Subject: BS: Trick Wallets info please
We were having a discussion about old times in the pub yesterday, and one of the topics that came up were the wallets that were used by amongst others, milkman, insurance collectors, tally men etc.
These seemed magic to kids at the time as I remember, they were two pieces of card/leather joined together by elastic with it crossed on one side, and two straight lines on the other and you layed the notes in then turned them inside out and hey presto the notes were under the elastic.

Does anyone else remember these, and is it possible to still get them, or anyone know how to make one.

Thanks in advance, I know I can rely on some catter out there.
