Title A name given to the resource Great Aunt Ruth’s Miser’s Purse Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1895 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 3.25 X 7.5 inches Description An account of the resource Given to me in 1987 by my Great Aunt Ruth, she shared that the little purse was used to carry her pennies to church on Sundays for the offering. At a Crochet Guild of America conference in 1994, Dana Benjamin taught a class on these purses. When I saw her samples, I learned that the unique chain openings on the purses were the same as mine! Miser’s purses originated late in the 18th century and were variously called “misers, reticules or long stockings.” The shape originated in the Medieval practice of carrying coins in the toe of a stocking. By 1880, miser’s purses were becoming less popular as commercial leather coin purses became available. However, needlework magazines continued to carry instructions for making them into the early 20th century.
