1910's black cowhide leather deals doctor's bag, center open, blue cloth lining, beautiful patina, decor piece, storage, tote bag, great find
Remember when doctors made house calls? It was essential and normal until the 70's believe it or not. And if a doctor showed up with a bag that wasn't well worn in, it wasn't a good sign. This one is from the 1910's.
The bag is made deals from black cowhide leather, very sturdy and thick. It has a beautiful grain. It opens in the center. The lining is a blue fabric and is worn in spots. The exterior is in super condition and a coat or two of black polish would spiff it up to almost new, shudder the thought.
This is a great piece for decor, storage solutions, overnight bag, or maybe even doctoring.
It measures 20 by 11 by 9 inches.
I recently purchased the small items from the Estate of a family who owned and operated a variety of enterprises in the town famous for its tall ship building. The ships would sail the world and bring back treasures from the continent and eastern seaboard. The Victorian home was filled with these magnificent finds, added to over the decades by other generations.
I am up to my ears in magnificence.
Victorian, Edwardian, the 20's, 30's 40's and 50's....all under one large roof.
Because the items where bought from the owners, the items have not been picked over in antique shops or (shudder) thrift stores. This is a rare opportunity to own something, well, rare.
And no, I don't actually want to sell any of it.
Make every day a special occasion.
