Description

Looking for value and more information about the company that made this great bag.

Fabulous antique leather doctor's bag from Books Kansas City Trunk Company. This bag looks amazing in person, and leather has been moisturized. Bag is in good condition considering it is likely around 70-80 years old. Some peeling of the leather strip that runs along the top of the bag - see pic 2.

Some wear around folds of bag, clear in pictures. Some scuffing and scratches. Interior is a bit dusty but in good condition, without any rips or tears.
