Up for sale is a rare, matching lot of three (3) vintage genuine eel skin squeeze-to-open coin pouches. Labeled on the interior cloth tags as "Genuine Eel Skin - Made in Korea," these sleek pocket accessories perfectly blend retro fashion with functional utility mechanics.
These wallets utilize a classic, internal metal spring steel frame. They lie completely flat when resting, creating an ultra-slim, low-profile silhouette. With a quick squeeze to the sides, the top pops wide open for immediate access, snapping firmly and securely shut the second pressure is released.
Why Magicians & Mentalists Love These:
• Stealth Mechanics: The quick, squeeze-to-open motion can be done effortlessly with one hand. It is completely silent, making it an incredible utility prop for cleanly loading, vanishing, or switching coins, folded billets, keys, or tiny gimmicks right in front of an audience.
• Disarming Look: Because it looks like an elegant, high-end daily accessory, it never triggers the audience's suspicion of being a "gimmicked magic prop".
• Set of 3: Crucial for workers who need identical backups or want to set up multiple distinct switches across a single close-up set.
Why Vintage Collectors Love These:
• Premium Material: Crafted from 100% authentic Pacific eel skin leather—reverently called the "silk of the ocean" for its glossy sheen, smooth texture, and beautiful vertical striped pattern.
• Incredible Durability: Eel skin is naturally up to 1.5 times stronger than standard cowhide of the same thickness. It remains beautifully flexible over decades and inherently resists cracking and creasing.
Product Specifications:
• Quantity: 3 matching squeeze wallets
• Material: Authentic Genuine Eel Skin Exterior / Metal Spring Closure / Fully Lined Interior
• Color: Glossy Jet Black
• Origin: Made in South Korea (Vintage circa 1980s)
• Condition: Good pre-owned vintage condition. The internal metal spring mechanisms are strong, snapping open easily and sealing tightly shut. I didn’t try to clean the leather. I do see a a little spotting so please review photos for complete cosmetic details.
