    ITEM DESCRIPTION
    :
    Being offered for sale is the vintage/antique LEATHER MESSENGER BAG by unknown maker
    (no identifiable maker's mark(s) - just marked "Hecho en Guatemala" (translation: "Made in Guatemala") at front-top, under top flap (see 11th pic))
    featuring a custom attached
    (presumably by the original/previous owner)
    antique BRASS RAILROAD TAG/PLATE that reads "THE PROPERTY OF THE DELAWARE LACKAWANNA & WESTERN R.R."
    (see 2nd pic for close-up)
    by the AMERICAN RAILWAY SUPPLY CO.
    (marked "AM.RY.S.CO. NEW YORK" at top of tag, see 2nd pic)
    ,
    from circa the late 19th or early 20th century
    (best guess based on internet research - the American Railway Supply Co. produced these tags from 1891 until the 1920's and the "AM.RY.S.CO." marking is believed to be the earlier/earliest hallmark used, dating this tag closer to 1891 than 1920)
    , as seen in the pictures/as described in the title.
    PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES
    . Being offered for sale as-found, uncleaned. May require a thorough detailing to bring to its full potential. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED or your money back...no questions asked!
