Awesome! I wonder if anyone would walk around with it?

Here is the Craigslist Ad describing the Cord Purse and the accompanying photos.  

This is a 1940s treasure! It is a purse constructed of telephone cord in bright primary colors. The purse measures approximately 8" x 7-1/2" x 3". It is lined in black grain type fabric.
The top is closed with a metal zipper. This purse is in very good condition, with only a slight amount of wear to the top edge of the lining.
What a fun addition this will be to any Spring and Summer wardrobe.

I found something very similar a few years ago. I thought I had a great find but I could not salvage one of the cord covers. Not one. .....Doug

Did they have coiled PVC telephone cords back in the 1940s?
