I love finding vintage deals where I least expect them! Went to an antiques mall Saturday looking for items for my home, and found this adorable little Pocket Purse, made in NYC no less, in a sad state. I couldn't get over how great the leather felt, while scratched and in need of some TLC, I couldn't leave it behind. Became my project for the weekend. Still need to buff the leather to get more of a sheen, but it's already looking 100% better than how I found it! Before and after photos:

Yes, and I took additional photos and posted them in the rehab thread. My new avatar photo is that very bag, after the brass had been cleaned and polished, and an additional application of Leather CPR. I'm really pleased how this one turned out. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for others to rehab now!

Thank you! I hope you find some more great ones. It sounds like you're having fun.
