Vintage Leather Bag Large Messenger Portfolio Postal Hand Tooled Cactus

Vintage Leather Bag Large Messenger? This hand tooled leather bag is absolutely gorgeous! I bought it because I was so attracted to it's size & unique cactus design, and overall workmanship.

It looks very old, and all hand stitched. I'm really not sure what kind of bag it was used for, but it certainly is eye catching & very beautifully made! As expected, there are some signs of wear, some scratches & scuffs. I did not try to apply anything to it, I'm not a professional, & didn't want to ruin it. It is very large, measures 19" x 15". Has double carry handle & ivory look tusk closure front toggle. Has 4 gold tone studs on bottom. 2 large compartments inside, & one slip- in compartment on the outside. A large buckle closure accent under front flap.

On the front is very large, graphic cactus, almost looks like flaming tips. It measures 19" across, 20" tall to handles.
