My mom’s childhood Elvis Presley wallet. The inside isn’t too incredibly interesting, but contains my mom’s Girl Scouts of America membership card and a few clippings of Elvis himself.

You know the first thing I’m going to ask is if we see that Girl Scouts membership card and the Elvis clippings inside? One of my absolute favorite things is to find things like this with the original contents still side. Of course, the fact that this was your mom’s makes it 1,000,000,000,007 times better than what it is on it’s own, which is still FABULOUS.
I have a Ben Casey wallet that looks like it could be from the same company. Same color scheme, latch and the same general layout. Is the leatherette or plastic or whatever it’s made out of white or more cream colored? And does Elvis pop out at all?
What’s the white thing it’s leaning on? Is that by any chance an inflatable footstool that’s clear on the side and has plastic flowers inside?

FABULOUS!!… How does Elvis and Dr. Ben Casey look so handsome even in the graphics of a vinyl wallet??

Ok Allee, I’ll add the pictures of the things inside. =) I’m glad you like it.
The color is kind of cream color. I think it also came in pink and blue, if I remember correctly from looking at an Elvis price guide at a bookstore once. Elvis doesn’t really pop out, but I guess it is kind of embossed. It has a little keychain on the strap/closure thing too but you can’t really see it in this picture.
I wish it was an inflatable footstool, but it’s leaning on a Ponytail hatbox/travel case which I also submitted.
