Here we have a very rare & unique item a Hand Tooled Side Saddle Bag in almost 100% New Condition the wear showing is one of the buckles has turned color.  This Side Saddle Bag is completely hand made from premium heavy saddle skirting leather and displays some of the most gorgeous and ornate hand tooling work along the side borders. The backing piece to the saddle bag is equipped with heavy leather on leather wrapping on a handle above the saddle bag.  The whip stitched or thong wrapped edge bag measures 11 ½” wide by 6 ½” high with two ¾” wide straps, and two 1 5/8” wide buckles to secure the bag cover.  The two straps for securing the bag to the saddle are 1 ¼” wide with two 2 ¼” wide heavy buckles. To cap off this beautiful piece of leather work is a hand carved Cougar on a mountain side in an oval frame at the top of the saddle bag I have added pictures to show the carving work. I have no makers mark to date this piece although judging by the buckles I would this around the 1920s through 1940s.
