WW1 U. S. ARMY OFFICERS LARGE TRAVEL ROLL BAG NAMED AND MARKED AEF
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:64535 |
This is the only travel bag I have found with this design. The name on the bag is that of a doctor, I spoke with the grandson who kept most of the items but let me have a few. The name on the bag is Arthur L. Chambers and there is also AEF in a triangle. There are other markings which can be seen in the images. Considering this is 100 years old and saw use it is in really nice condition. All of the straps and buckles seem to be there, the original leather handle is good with wear. The ...handle fittings have some green which I consider normal for the bag. I did not find any tears or holes. There are several compartments of differing sizes. It is approximately 50"L x 27 1/2"W, I have provided images so the condition is clearly visible. I have found a couple of photos of Arthur Chambers, one shows him in uniform with Lt, bars and Caduceus insignia. The second photo is a group image of officers, there are no names but I used a magnifier and it looks like he may be the 7th in from the left. The formal photo is about 7 1/2"W x 9"H, the group is about 8 1/2"W x 6 1/2"H. They are in good condition given the age. Buyer pays for shipping.
