Brass Mounted Leather Gladstone Doctors Bag

Price £575

Description

High quality leather Gladstone bag with brass mounts. Often referred to as a Doctors Bag. Circa 1920s.

The high grade leather and stitching is in excellent condition. The leather underside is of similar condition and sits slightly raised from the ground on 6 large protective brass studs. The closing mechanisms are of heavy duty brass construction at both ends, fully working, and rotate to an open or closed position. The central brass locking mechanism is also heavy duty with double-latching. Sorry no key.

There is a removable interior tray compartment with leather lining. The linen interior of the main bag is also in excellent condition with no tears, and forms two pockets inside the bag.

Additional Notes :
1. This is a large and heavy bag, approximately 9Kg: 70 cm width (length); 40 cm deep; 40 cm height (excluding the handles).
2. It's utility is closer to that of a travel bag as 'The Doctors Bag' would usually be smaller, lighter and more nimble for visiting patients.
3. The initials C. De B. are lightly embossed into the leather with gold leaf paint applied.
