I have the wallet of an old German conductor out of München Gladbach, Arnold Queasten. I found it in a thrift store as it looked like a nice quality leather wallet.
In it are still some notes from Arnold, on two of his business cards. A note of someone here knew from the war, and another person from the flute section.
There was one pfennig, a German penny still in it. So I have Arnold's last penny. I found his grave on findagrave, one day I'll visit that.
I'm now terribly afraid of losing the wallet, though, because I'm unsure a casual finder would appreciate the beauty of such a piece.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen here.
Thnx! Such a great find
