Mailbag, Alfred, ME
Description
Leather rectangular bag with opening on one side and rounded bottom of another piece of leather. A 3 3/4" strip reinforces the top edge; on the front side this becomes a flap with seven slots fitting down over seven heavy brass strap-rings, flat, through which a brass-tipped strap is passed, which in turn is slotted to go through a heavy similar ring on back of the pouch, enabling it to be padlocked shut. 4" wide heavy leather handle. Circular metal rivets along side of bag and above bottom circular piece, all the way around.
