Vintage Tanners Council Of America Leather Bag

Description

WOW! LOOK AT THE CONDITION AND GORGEOUS LEATHER! VERY RARE FIND from the Tanners Council of America.
Beautiful Vintage Luggage Bag in luxurious brown split cowhide leather that screams of style and is waiting for a new owner.
Complete with vintage Crest New York Case Lock and Key!! (Still in business selling locks and clasps!)
This bag has been in the family for years. Always kept in a protective box when not used. The last trip it took was to Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm Ghost Town back in 1967. The reason I know of this is because inside the bag was a receipt from the Ritz Motor Hotel in San Luis Obispo, CA dated 3-19-67 for a whopping .36 for 1 room and a family of four. The family drove from Washington State to California. Also inside the bag was the admission pass to Disneyland costing a whopping .50 plus many other paper memorabilia that I will leave in the bag attesting to the date this bag was last used. I do not know how old the bag is but it does have a last name written inside the bag which was from 4 generations ago. The zipper works great but the key no longer moves the mechanism inside the lock to release the clasp.
After some research, the bag's fancy Art Deco gold tone key clasp and specific style of "Tanners Council" black inner tag dates this Rare bag to the period between the late 1920s and early 1940s.
The bag measures about 17.5" long x 9.5" wide x 12.5" Tall
