The little one in the middle came as an added bonus, I guess for when I want to travel light. Here's the open look:
You can't even tell from the pictures how ragged the old one is. But I did get a nice shot of the lint build up:
That 20-10-29 number you see on there? I'm not really sure what that is. Probably the combination to a gym locker at some point...
However, I'm not really sold on this new one. Having those slots for credit cards makes it look like a girl's wallet. And when I put all the cards in it got kind of fat like George Costanza's wallet.
I didn't even put in all the cards I had in the old one -- I had a credit card that I don't use, a Cold Stone gift card with 97 cents on it that I've been carrying around forever, and an old BYU ID.
That white line? Yep, my social security number was printed right on the front. Maybe identity theft didn't exist back in the 90s.

it's hard to let go of an old wallet. Instead of letting my wallet from '93 go by the wayside, I trimmed off the outer layer and covered it with orange duct tape, and it works great! I actually bought a new one too though around the same time but I haven't used it yet.
Oh my goodness. The old brown leather wallet. My dad is FINALLY giving his up this year for his birthday. We're all pitching in and buying him a nice new one...a brown one, leather, no name brands. Looking at your pictures is like looking at a picture of my dad's. It is hard to let things go. I'm still wearing shoes from 10+ years ago. My philosophy is - if it's still in good enough condition to wear or use, why replace it? Now, if I could just get my husband to think that way...
I still have the wallet that one of my Sunday School teachers in k-ville gave me for memorizing all the books of the Old Testament. That makes it almost 20 years old.
This may sound really weird, but I came across you blog about letting go and the wallet you were talking about, and you know (now comes the weird part) but I think it would be cool to sport that ragged wallet from time to time. Seriously, I'd buy it off you if you'd post it on ebay or something. Let me know at rf.fenster@gmail
