Bolide with zippered front compartment?

[bagpunk]

Hello hello! I am just wondering if anyone can tell me what a bolide of this description is called: it has a zippered compartment across the bottom front and no round patch on the top front? thanks!!!

 

[w.y.h]

Sounds like the Web?

I didn't think the Web (1923) had 'zips' on the compartments

Do you mean the McPhearson perhaps? It has a zipper round the bottom compartment but it does have the leather 'patch' on the front.

The MacPherson bag doesn't zip across the bottom; it has hinges that snap closed, like the Sac Malette.

^ OK - so that rules that one out

thanks gals! the one i saw looks very much like web II above. but if that is web II... there is a web I...?

and a mc pherson is.... *going to "search"...*

web = no front zippered compartment
web II = with?

or the other way around perhaps...?

or maybe my eyes (or the pic i saw) were all wonky and there was never a zipper on the front pocket....?

No outside zip compartment on the Web.....just that lovely open pocket against the front!

thanks s'mom! it just drove me a little crazy not knowing if there was in fact a zipper at the front pocket or even if such a style existed! thanks again everyone!
