I almost threw it away and decided to look it up in great shape for its age. I will keep for a show piece. Thanks for the information on this carpet bag

It would be the lower right corner one, almost identical to the one I have. I’ve taken photos, including the tag and what confuses me is the stitching and tag don’t look like something that would be that old… like from the 20s.

I can’t find any information on the company “Carpetbags of America”. Well, not yet, but still looking. I’m planning to put this up for sale and just doing my research as I do on any vintage item I find. I’ve not posted images of my bag on my blog but if you’d like to see detailed images and supply me with an email addy, I’d be happy to share them with you. If my bag is indeed as old as the 1920s, I’m surprised due to the machine stitching and condition of the tag.

Kind Regards,

Michelle

It is so hard to find information online about Vintage items, so I really appreciate sites like this.

I dream of one day finding and travelling with my own antique carpet bag. Although I think they’d probably be heavy to carry myself! :)

I am loving every word of it! Next time I am going thrifting, I will keep an eye out for a carpet bag to add to my bag collection!
