The wallet first appears in The Eye and the Prime Object during Dr. Martin Ruber’s vision in the desert. It is sitting on the end table to the right of the bed. It appears again when Joe Miller and Howard (The Weasel) Montague visit the Sood with the picture of Eddie and Mabel. It is one of the objects in the Sood’s computer catalogue.
The obverse side of The Wallet shows two yucca plants superimposed on a prairie scene. The reverse side shows a bull.
The first similar wallet was found by Chucklbunny. It showed a prairie scene with two Yucca plants on the obverse side and a horse facing left on the reverse side:
Several other wallets of varying quality and style have been found:
When exyooper found this wallet, he described it very appropriately as being from the Star Trek TOS episode “Mirror Mirror”:
In May of 2010 Chucklbuny contacted a wallet maker who had listed a close match on eBay:
This wallet maker knew the name of the original designer Al Stohlman. He shared a print of the original design:
The wallet maker agreed to start manufacturing wallets like the one in the miniseries:
For contact information, please PM Chucklbunny or Spikosauropod.
