Policewomen's Handbag
This is the official issue Policewomen’s handbag issued from 1976 with the introduction of the vitric blue uniform. Essentially the same as its predecessor, but blue in colour, it came complete with key lock for security, plus coin purse and small hand held vanity mirror. The bag was made as large as practical as it had to carry items such as handcuffs and baton, but despite its size, the female issue baton had to be much shorter than that issued to men. Manufactured by Jack D. Phillips Ltd., of Wellington New Zealand, it was of the "Clarrissa" style 326 design.
