(Sold) Top/End Views of Rare Schell Doctor Bag (Sold)

The top of the line in doctor bags, a Schell Emdee doctor bag with beautifully supple leather. It has all the wonderful qualities of the Schell bags that were produced for decades and were always the very best. Two large compartments with snap-lock covers are inside, one on each side. An adjustable strap with several loops for holding bottles and instruments is in the bottom of the bag. Schell made the very best doctor bags using very good leather and solid brass or nickel hardware. The hardware on this one is solid brass. One of Schell's exclusive features was the use of eight metal sleeves for the handles. Instead of leather-metal contact the stress on the handles is relieved by metal-metal contact, much stronger and long-lasting. This bag would make an excellent gift for a serious collector or a med student (we sold one to a doctor in California who is now using it to make house calls; two others are carrying the tools of "computer doctors" working for an IT company). The patent on this one dates to 1942. We've cleaned and treated the leather, so it should last many more years. Please note the outside leather is solid black, the blue in the photos is a reflection of blue sky. Doctor bags have become a very collectable item; to find one of this quality is very rare indeed.  Just email us at TreasuredChests@oldtrunks.com or give us a call, toll-free at 1-877-653-8786 and we'll have it on its way to you within hours.
