Leather Possibles Bag for Fifteen Cents!

I collect Possibles Bags at yard sales and give many away to new muzzleloader folks. Today was a BONUS day. I found a big yard sale nearby and bought a French Fry Maker for $5.00. It is a gizmo with great mechanical advantage that stands about 2 feet high and the subject potato about softball size is forced down through a sharp grate thingy that renders cut french fries.

As I was leaving I saw a group of purses hanging from a rack. One leather purse caught my ML eye because it was obviously all leather with a long shoulder strap. It is a Tignanello Bag with a 25-cent price tag. I rendered the two-bit price and at home found a dime in the front pocket! Walla! I have a leather Possibles Bag for 15 cents, what is not to like? What a Country?

I will use this bag, after two coats of brown polish, to replace my first purse/possibles bag that has just been worn out after 31 years of use. Cabela's has leather possibles bags in the $65-$90 range. I think 15 cents for my bag leaves some slack for more powder, flints and stuft.
