Government issue briefcase -- Before & After
 |
| The handles need some reinforcing/repair at the attachment points in order to carry the type of load that this very large bag is cable of holding. |

Old Leather Clarinet Bag - Before & After some cleaning/work
 |
| The bag was well-used and pretty scruffy. Also, the main zipper was broken. |
 |
| The bag has had a pretty rough life, it looks like. |
 |
| Fixed the zipper (need to still crimp-off the end), cleaned the leather and applied a colored leather cream to protect the leather and bring back some color. Also added a shoulder strap I bought not too long ago from some sort of military application. |
 |
| The leather is VERY thick. One end of the bag is round (to hold a trumpet or a clarinet). The interior is lined in faux-fur to protect the instrument. It looks to be possibly a custom made bag for someone who may have been a professional musician... |
 |
| The patina on the aged leather is fantastic. It can be a very utilitarian bag for something as an alternative use. Don't know what though... |
Went to the local Honda Motorcycle dealer - went on the roof near the 405 to look at their signs & over the Chevy dealer next door

| When I worked at Hyundai, I used to visit this dealer's service department quite often. Spent quite a bit of time in the service area... |
