After a little bit of tug-o-war at our regular picking dump, Darcie emerged from the melee with these two Doctor's bags circa 1900-1910. The bags in themselves were amazing enough, but when we got them opened, the contents totally blew our collective minds.
We really don't know exactly what we're going to due with these. As of right now, there sitting on my office desk to be played with and admired. I'll let the photos speak for themselves:

Hello there! Do you still have these doctor's bags, and if so might you be willing to part with them? I am a published author from Seattle, currently working on my fourth novel, which has much to do with medicine around the turn of the last century. Thank much in advance!
