British Leather Tool bag closed

The British Leather Tool Bag is an iconic item that was used by the military from at least the 1930's and into the 1980's. My Grandad had one in the back of his car until the 1990's. The toolboxes manufactured prior to the 1970's were a dark leather colour. Those manufactured in 1970's were more of a tan colour. Heavy construction lined with a steel tray and cardboard stiffners. The lid and straps are often the weakness.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
