100 Pocket Purse

Some of the toys in Tim's collection are ones that he has specially commissioned, and are therefore one of a kind.

Tim visited the Frankfurt Toy and Gift Fair back in the 1980s, and one of the companies showing their products was an Indian leather work company. They made a range of items, including leather purses, and arranged around the front of their stand, as a demonstration item to catch the eye, was a leather purse with 100 pockets. Tim was so taken with this that he asked the company if they would make one for him to buy. The following year, when he attended the Frankfurt fair again, the company was there, with Tim's specially commissioned 100 pocket purse ready for him to collect!
