Bag, do you have one of these?

All this talk of Leica nostalgia, I felt the need to buy and use photo equipment older than me..so I found this old leather camera bag...believed to be 50+ years old and "Made in USA" so I've been eyeing this bag on Ebay for the past 3 days..and it sat at like $6.... well, minute before the auction expired, I put in $20... thought it would be safe...then thought..heck, I'll put in $32...no idiot would pay that much. Well, some one bid $25.99 as the auction ended and I ended up winning it at $26.99. Dang it. But worth it...I can't wait to do some leather work on this! It's authentic old America... love it!

very cool. I can almost smell the old leather through my screen

I got my leather polisher ready to go... put some candle wax on the zippers... will probably need a new strap!

Ahh, but does it have Velcro liners and dividers?

I believe that bag was manufactured right around the time velcro was manufactured... I'm going to have to find something..

Heh! Find some ancient Velcro and glue that stuff in!

I think I have an almost identical one. Got it in a local generic used stuff store, for 50$ - with Canon 650EOS, perfectly good Canon 50mm f1.8 MkI, and a working flash inside. I already sold the lens (100$, after making thousands of great photos with it), so may be I should now list the bag on ebay?

There's someone out there willing to pay $25.99 for it!
