FINE EARLY RARE HANDMADE FOLK ART ELK SKIN BUCKSTITCHED POSSIBLES BAG MID-1800s

Description: FINE EARLY RARE HANDMADE FOLK ART ELK SKIN BUCKSTITCHED POSSIBLES BAG MID-1800s FINE EARLY RARE HANDMADE FOLK ART ELK SKIN BUCKSTITCHED POSSIBLES BAG MID-1800s FINE / EARLY / RARE ANTIQUE HANDMADE FOLK ART ELK SKIN HAND TANNED / BUCKSTITCHED / POSSIBLES SHOULDER BAG CIRCA MID 1800’S This is a very fine and early antique handmade tanned Elk skin leather shoulder possibles bag in superb condition for its extreme age. Overall length hanging is 31”. The twisted leather strap is 23” from the top of the strap to the bag when hanging. The double thick shoulder strap is 20” long total x 7/8’ wide, with border stitching on both sides and double stitched ends. The double strand twisted straps are about 1/4" in diameter. Total weight is 6.7 ounces or 192 grams. All of the hand stitching is done with a twisted cotton twine and shows slight variances in the stitching. All of the twine and buck stitching are intact. The accordion style pocket is about 8 3/4" tall x 5 3/4" wide with all 3 sides being partially collapsed as made. The inside of the pouch has a piece of leather 2/3rds of the depth that creates an internal pouch. The outside pouch front leather ends where it is hand buck stitched with black leather and joined with the bottom leather piece and the small loop closure. The two side leather gussets are also hand buck stitched with functional and decorative black elk hide leather and joined with a single piece of leather piece that forms the bottom of the bag continuing the side gussets and forming the bottom gusset. Then, the front and side pieces were hand stitched together to form the complete front and side gussets. Then the entire front and sides of the pouch, along with the internal leather piece forming the inside pouch, was sewn together to the back side leather piece that also secures the top flap. Thus, in the side view, is shown 3 layers of hide sewn together. The top flap is double hand buck stitched in functional and decorative black elk hide leather. The flap end has a stylized drop shape overlaid decorative piece with decorative black elk hide leather buck stitching with a top black border. This bottom flap piece is then hand sewn onto the front flap, with the early style barrel rolled leather closure. The distinctive Elk skin appears to be Indian tanned. The hide could have been obtained in trade and crafted by a Frontiersman, Trapper or Mountain men. It also could have been made by Native American Indians who were proficient in tanning buffalo, elk and deer hides into clothing, tobacco pouches, knife sheaths, et al. The leather is flexible, but because leather dries out over time, this piece could be saddle soaped and/or leather conditioning if desired. However, it can change the coloration, so I have left them in the original, untouched condition, which collectors covet. There are light wear marks on the back piece and slight uneven ripples, probably from sweat. Provenance: This piece has been in my collection for decades, and was originally obtained from the Iconic George Taylor collection, Los Gatos, California. This possibles bag would be perfect for any Native American, Western, Western Americana, Old West, Cowboy, Cowgirl, American Indian display or collection; or use as a wall hanger / decorator / conversation piece.

Buyers must keep their PayPal account in good standing. Buyers must show good faith conduct with the seller. Improper good faith conduct can include, but is not limited to, any means by which a buyer can attempt to unjustly benefit from the Seller's Terms & conditions or eBay's Buyer Protection plan. Moreover, good faith conduct does not include buyer's remorse, regardless of the reason. Returns will not be accepted such as changed my mind, found a better price, just didn't like it, Ordered by mistake, Arrived too late, etc. Returns will not be accepted and buyers will be reported to eBay when buyer makesfalse claims such as doesn't match description or photos, doesn't seem authentic, Doesn't fit, Wrong item sent, Missing parts or pieces, Doesn't work or defective, Arrived damaged.

By doing so, buyers commit to negotiate in good faith, and that they have not initiated any other form of resolution processing; including eBay / PayPal dispute process or credit card charge backs, or purchases where you have been or may be compensated by a third party. Possible buyer / seller resolution examples are: if seller and buyer agree that an item is significantly different than described and photographed, exchanging an item for a different item from the seller (whether listed or unlisted), credit from the seller against any current or future item, adjustment, trade, return, or any other arrangement that is mutually agreed upon between the seller and the buyer, and confirmed in writing via eBay's email system. These options are designed to expedite resolution of any potential issue quickly, easily and amicably, in lieu of eBay / PayPal on-line dispute resolution process which is lengthy, laborious, and allows decisions to be made by a 3rd party instead of the principals; i.e., the buyer & seller.

Any item returned must be pre-approved by the seller and received by seller within 7 days from receipt. If a buyer claims the item is damaged in shipping, it must send photographic proof on eBays email system, gain agreement with the seller, and item must be returned before buyer enters a feedback comment and before any exchange, credit or refund is issued. Buyer must use appropriate shipping, delivery confirmation and / or signature confirmation (items $250 ) and/or insurance at the buyers expense. Restocking fee, partial refunds and refunds are negotiable when buyers are dealing in good faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ALL BUYERS AGREE TO SELLERS RETURN POLICY THAT SUPERSEDES EBAYS RETURN POLICY FOR ALL ITEMS. v.9.19.2020 Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
