Description

This is a one-off item that recently came into stock. The origin is either French or Swiss, we are not quite sure; but it dates from the very early 1950's and the original use was as a work bag or traveling salesman sample bag. Made from very heavy duty black leather, the case has a top carrying handle - all-leather with black saddle stitching and bronze fixings - and multiple fixings including a leathers track with buckle that goes all around the case plus two adjustable push fit tab fillings, the top handle has had a later repair fixing to of a nut and bolt replace a broken pin hinge.

This is a sturdy examply of a Mid-Century hard-wearing work bag - a tool or work bag made to last the lifetime of a career. This bag is still ready for plenty of work with bags of space (excuse the pun) for tools, samples, lunch, all the bits and pieces for a day's hard work. As is is a working accessory, we have left this bag in an 'as found' original condition - but if requested we can give it a good polish with our favourite leather products and bring it up to a superb shine for the buyer.

The bag measures around 18" wide x 16" high (including handle) x 8" deep (45 x 40 x 20cm). Please contact us any time for extra information as this case is quite difficult to describe exactly!
