Classic leather doctor's bag, holding up well! Made of top grain, caramel-coloured cowhide in the traditional Gladstone style, belted on the sides with a split handle design. Stitching to the leather is in great shape. The interior has an intact, unstained natural-coloured Irish linen lining with a large side linen pocket. Bag stands erect without sagging.
A great collectors piece, or authentic prop for a period piece. Hard to date but thought to be from the around the 1920-40's.
20" long by 9.5" wide by 10" tall (13" with handles). Brass rivets, zipper, base studs (5), Cheney locks (England), and a small McBrine Baggage logo. Lockable but the key is missing. There is a faint monogram in gold lettering, looks like "GHC".
From the McBrine Baggage Company (1892-1969) of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Mfg. Item number: 18-4670/4.
Overall condition is quite good. However, there is a 3" tear in the zipper fabric -- though the zipper still works. There is scuffing to the leather in the four top corners with one corner having a 1/2" tear, and scuffing on the bottom perimeter. Please see photos, and feel free to ask questions.
