Featured in this lot is a Wells Fargo, riveted leather Stagecoach bag originating from the early 1900's. This bag displays supple leather construction with copper rivets across the seams. The bag was used to transport bank mail across distances. The bag came from a private collection in Virginia City, Montana. The bag comes with a letter of appraisal by Timothy Gordon, who is the owner of a full service appraisal and brokerage firm specializing in Museum Collections and fine art. The bag is marked across the top, reading "F H NET TEETON". The bag shows good condition overall, with some wear due to its age. The bag measures 31 1/2" long by 19 1/2" wide across the top.
