Members ELeBlanc Posted September 20, 2019 Members Report Posted September 20, 2019 New to these. Is the middle one complete and the first and last incomplete? middle one allows you to attach a handle easily. First and third are missing that piece in the brass frame. So are the first and third just "seconds" or is there another way that the first and third are intended to be used? Also, when looking at places that sell something like these I see Ohio Travel Bag but there version is cheap and cheap looking - so I passed. Found one or two other sites that had cheap alternatives. Nothing like what's in the picture. Any idea what would be a fair price to pay for a nice one? thanks Einar LeBlanc Brooklyn NY Quote
Members ELeBlanc Posted September 20, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 20, 2019 Here is someone that made a new bag with a frame that looks old and just like the ones above. The bag isn't 100% to my taste but the closure looks great! https://www.smokedglassgoggles.co.uk/gladstone-bag-weekender-travel-bag-steampunk-bag-leather-doctors-medicine-bag-large-leather-travel-bag-vintage-leather-carpetbag-by-crazy2hands/ Quote

KAYAK45 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Posted September 26, 2019 Hey! What's up with "a private" source for a better item? Isn't this whole forum for sharing??? Quote
