This Strange Red Object Once Had a Surprisingly Useful Purpose
At first glance, this bright-red oval object looks like something that belongs in a modern gadget drawer.
Some people might guess it is an earbud case. Others may think it is an old makeup compact, a tiny lens holder, or even a fidget toy.
But its real purpose is much simpler—and far more nostalgic.
This small object is a vintage rubber squeeze coin purse, sometimes known as a Quikey or Oval Squeeze Purse.
