North Carolina Confederate Veteran's Wallet with Confederate Currency
|
|
SOLD!!! A wonderful wallet highly prized and carried by North Carolina Confederate Veterans. This wonderful wallet is a tri-fold leather wallet. The letters "CV" or "VC" are emblazoned in gold on the wallet. While the letters actually stand for the Virginia North Carolina Chemical Company, the "CV" obviously stood for Confederate Veterans. This wallet was passed out at Confederate Veteran reunions in North Carolina by the North Carolina Sales Division of the Chemical Company. In this wallet was a 50 cent Confederate note. This stays with the wallet. The North Carolina Sales Division of the Chemical Company was in Durham, North Carolina. These don't find their way to the market very often!
