antique,camera,bags I'm not sure what this bag was for. Maybe cameras. Maybe for a saleman's samples? Not a doctor's bag. It's black pebbled leather, with a real buckle and strap closure. The fold-over side flaps protect the interior and snap together. Lined with black leather, with one large pocket, six 4" loops to hold bottles, four 1 1/2" loops, and one little sissors pocket. Lining is attached with snaps and is completely removable. Two leather handles have a 7 1/2" drop. Side seams are protected with rubber bumpers. There's a little window pocket on one end of the bag, and the other end has a "1" painted on in white. Bag measures 12 1/2" wide by 6 1/2" high by 6 1/4" deep. Near mint. Probably never used.
