Vintage French Railroad Brown Leather Bag, Messenger Leather Bag With Brass Frame, Old French Shoulder Bag, Leather Postal Bag

This gorgeous bag was used by French postal men to carry money and money orders to costumers. Some were used by the railroad ticket master to carry the money. S.V.R can be seen still printed on the front flap.

If you like to carry bags that are unique this is definitely the bag for you. The color is this gorgeous shade of brown burgundy oxblood, it’s deep and rich and beautiful especially with the contrast of the shiny patinated brass. I love the contrast of brass against leather.

The gorgeous brass frame works perfectly still, the leather has a beautiful patina from years of use. This bag is ready to carry on more years. The straps are used but in overall good used condition.

The bag has one outside pocket with brass closure and the inside has one large open compartment and 2 separate side pockets for organisation.

Please note that the back of the bag has a small triangle hole on the leather in the upper left side right under the brass frame, that is where they usually hang them on the wall.

The bag is approximatively:

8”x9.5”

The bag can easily be carried either over the shoulder or cross body. The strap drop is 19.5” long with an extra 10” to add if needed.

Please see all photos for details on condition.
