For your consideration is this original leather miner's map case from a Tombstone, Arizona Territory mine in the 1880s to 1890s. This cylindrical, soft leather case would have been used for various maps and/or documents to be stored in a safe spot as the worker moved through the mine or other locations. It features a leather handle and two metal rings to attach a shoulder sling to. The top hatch features a buckle locking system to keep the hatch secure and in place, but has since been broken. The map case shows good condition overall with wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. The buckle latch is broken in one spot and cracks and wear in the leather is present. It measures 16 5/8" L x 2 1/8" W and weighs under 6 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. M104
