This small coin purse was once the property of the outlaw Jesse James. The purse was given personally to Harrison Schwend by Frank James along with a note from Frank with his compliments dated May 8, 1914, less than a year before Frank's death. The bag portion of the purse was burned away in the Museum fire of 1988 but was originally the scrotum sac from a bull. It is believed that this face to face encounter between Schwend and James occurred at the time that the Younger/James Wild West Show was appearing in Henrietta, Clay County, Texas in 1914. The aforementioned note and purse were accompanied by a Cartridge Belt used by brother Jesse during his infamous career, which was also destroyed in the fire.
