This was my grandmother's bag. Her husband's family went deep sea fishing every summer. I have a feeling they came across Mr and Mrs Scarborough and purchased the bag.

I just found a Original Bag by Pat, cute, cute, cute, would you have any idea of the value? It's in excellent shape, not a mark on it, it was very well cared for?
