Tom Swift is the main character of five series of American juvenile science fiction and adventure novels that emphasize science, invention and technology. First published in 1910, the series total more than 100 volumes. The character was created by Edward Stratemeyer, the founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book-packaging firm. Tom's adventures have been written by various ghostwriters, beginning with Howard Garis. Most of the books are credited to the collective pseudonym "Victor Appleton". The 33 volumes of the second series use the pseudonym Victor Appleton II for the author. For this series, and some of the later series, the main character is "Tom Swift, Jr." New titles have been published as recently as 2007. Most of the various series emphasized Tom's inventions. The books generally describe the effects of science and technology as wholly beneficial, and the role of the inventor in society as admirable and heroic. Translated into many languages, the books have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. Tom Swift has also been the subject of a board game and a television series. Several famous people, including Steve Wozniak and Isaac Asimov, have cited "Tom Swift" as an inspiration. Several inventions, including the Taser, have been inspired allegedly by Swift's fictional inventions. "TASER" is said to be an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle."

Would be great if it was $10
Color: Gold
Feels like cardboard. I had one of these years ago .. but this style is hard to find. The quality is cheap. Not worth the price.

even nicer than I expected
Color: Gold
Perfect! Looks much more expensive than it costs. Looks exactly like the photos and feels just like it looks like it would. I absolutely love how spacious it is because most clutches can barely hold my phone let alone a pair of reading glasses and some lip balm. The color is absolutely gorgeous and exactly as it was shown. The zipper is quality the tassel is darling I love the fold over and a good strong magnetic clasp. The little shoulder chain is perfect whether you choose to use it or put it back in the bag.

Lovely
Color: Bronze
Very pretty clutch. I would really say this is a pretty large clutch. Soft! It comes with a metal chain, that I won't use. The tassel is a nice touch. This is not so formal that you couldn't wear it with jeans for a punch. I bought it with the Nine West Feather pump - bronze. They compliment so well! This is "cracked" and the shoes are not. But I'd still highly encourage pairing them. You could use this for a formal or create a smashing jeans outfit. Either way, just beautiful.
