Wooden Purse with Marine Corps Emblem

Wooden purses were a popular Florida souvenir. There was Earl Gersh and the Lee Hayman Woodcraft Shop to name a few. Florida was also home to military bases. So it is no surprise that wooden purses were made to show your support for a family member or significant other who was in the armed forces. This purse boasts the Marine Corp emblem. And check out the souvenir postcards below from Lee Hayman Woodcraft Shop which was located in St. Petersburg, Florida.
