Recieved a Catlog of an Exhibition [in Tel Aviv] `Purse Tales`. It includes Many many Embroidered purses, but i was caught in the charm of Drwastring velvet GAMING purses , embroidered with silver and gold thread , family coat of arms on bottom , France 18th century.
Has anyone ever seen such purses , they are esp curious since they are wide but quite short . mirjam
The Gaming Purse survives in the special pouches used by some players of D&D and similar games to hold dice, tokens etc.

Yeah: I have a nice little leather appliqué bag that I keep my dice in! And speaking of D&D, its creator, Gary Gygax died the other day! He was the creator of literally hundreds of role playing games, one of which (The Keep on the Borderlands) our group played for eleven years. He will be sadly missed.
Thank you Dawne , i think that from all the purses in the Catalog those are my favorites. mirjam
