This lot provides you the opportunity to bid on a circa 1930 - Eli Lilly Pebbled Black Leather Doctors Bag. The bag has features such as a brass "Crest Lock CO." latch, as well as double handles, and a suede interior liner. These Eli Lilly bags were gifted to newly minted MD's as they graduated medical school, this one is inscribed with the initials J.C.H. The practice of gifting medical students these bags has long since come to an end since it was decided it made for a biased work environment - so over time, these bags will become more and more scarce. This bag was well cared for, and is in overall good condition. There is warm patina forming on the brass components, as well as typical wear consistent for its age. The bag measures approximately 13 1/2" long, 5 7/8" tall with the handles folded down, and 6 1/4" wide.
