John Hort 1960s handmade Kelly bag black leather snake trim

Product Description
This all leather Kelly bag was handmade in Canada by John Hort. It is in excellent condition, clean and without wear inside and out. It is black calfskin leather trimmed with black snakeskin and snake covered Kelly handle. It is lined in leather and black rayon faille. That snakeskin flap conceals a slip pocket that could hold a cell or keys.

Inside the bag is divided into 2 compartments divided by a zip pocket. The back slip pocket is rimmed in gold leather and has the Handmade in Canada by John Hort fabric tag. The bag is 6½ x 9½ inches with a 3½ inch gusset. The strap is 14 inches and is proof that bag has had little use. Every scale is totally intact and perfect. John Hort handmade bags used top quality materials and craftsmanship. I don't think this bag has ever been used.

In the photo of the inside at the right edge is the only sign of damage or wear. It is an eighth inch speck of missing finish to the leather. Polish or dye would conceal that easily. The reddish spot on the front pocket is flash glare. The pocket is without flaw.
