Available in this lot we have a set of Elliott's Patent leather doctor medicine saddle bags originating from the 1860's to 1870's. The saddle bags show leather construction with brass rivets and hardware. Each side of the piece shows two compartments with a metal liner and designed to hold glass medicine bottles. The pouches show a protective flap across the front with a key hole locking system. The front of each flap is marked "Elliott's Patent - Granted Jan 18, 1870 - A.A. Mellier - St. Louis, MO Sole Proprietor" with most of the markings faded to the point of being unreadable. The piece shows fair condition overall with wear and damage due to age and use.
