Offered in this lot is a Desert brand camping water bag made by the canvas specialty, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. The bag has a cork closer for the spout. The bag does not have the closing hardware. Desert water bags were once a common sight on the highways of the American Southwest. Designed to keep water cool under hot conditions, desert water bags were available at service stations and general stores. They could be filled with water and hung on the outside of the vehicle to keep cool. The bag would be hung outside the vehicle and the forward motion would cause evaporation of the water on the outside of the bag, cooling the water inside. This bag measures 13 3/4” x 11 3/4".
