More Old Leather Bags With Drawstring

2 more bags from an estate sale. 1 bag has tiny metal balls at the end of the string. Any info (age, origin) on these appreciated.

Thanks wisc!

 

The one with the metal balls is identical to the one I used in the 1950s to carry my marbles in. But it was one my grandfather had, and gave me, so I have no idea how long he had it, or what the original purpose was.

The other one appears newer, based on the leather cord (which may have been a leather boot lace.) It looks more like a crafter's work, or homemade. More like the 1970s, when a lot of "hippies" carried similar items. Does it happen to have a distinctive smell that might indicate what it held?

 

Or alternatively, do you get high when you smell it?

 

If only it were that easy!

 

Thanks Taupou!
