1940's Purse Contents
Posted on 10:31 AM by follow me
I read an article from 1945 that listed the contents of a typical womans handbag. Here it goes: 1 or 2 lipsticks, a compact, a fresh hankerchief, the laundry bill, 1 nylon stocking, 1 pack of cigarettes, 3 packs of matches, 1 hairnet, an address book, a pack of letters and 1 fountain pen. A little different from today, but we still carry the same amount of items if not more!
