This listing features a charming antique miniature doll purse complete with a rare set of eight zinc play money coins. The purse is crafted from a vibrant green ribbed fabric, likely grosgrain, and is mounted on a decorative brass-toned metal frame with a delicate carrying chain. The accompanying coins are cast from lead or pot metal and are embossed with the words "PLAY DOUGH" alongside star motifs and denominations. The set includes four "5" coins and four "10" coins. The term "dough" is used here as early 20th-century slang for money, predating the modern modeling compound.
