<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 10232205, member: 82566&quot;]that&#039;s what i believe it says, although i&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s Oct 6, 1859.&nbsp; what i&#039;m assuming is, a patent remains in force for 20 years.&nbsp; so this was probably manufactured sometime in the 1870s.&nbsp; but this is all a guess.&nbsp; i haven&#039;t found anyone that&#039;s ever seen a bag with this patent stamp on it.&nbsp; i contacted the Wells Fargo museum, and they are basically worthless.&nbsp; i don&#039;t think it&#039;s a real musem.&nbsp; i think it&#039;s more of a promotional thing for their bank.&nbsp; they got back to me with an email saying they don&#039;t offer appraisals(which i wasn&#039;t asking for) and i should contact an auctioneer(which i did).&nbsp; very frustrating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
