Vintage Grip/Duffle Bag

[poetman]

Hi all:

For a while I've been searching for a vintage duffle bag (they used to be called grip bags), and I'm looking for one that looks like this:

but for a fraction of this price. I've tried ebay, but perhaps I'm not searching the right keyword. Is this bag commonly referred to by
another name? Any suggestions on where I can find one?

Thanks!

This looks like what I'd call a Gladstone or a Doctor's bag, but I may be wrong about this. In any case, the one in your link is stunning!

They are out there. I found one recently at a local Antique mall. They called it a Doctors bag. Medium brown leather, zip closure.

That's quite a piece of engineering. Looks like it'll be quite heavy.

I am also looking for a quality leather grip/duffel for under $400. The only one I can find is the duluth pack leather duffel.

Unfortunately, it is a little too big for my travels. I wish the No.1 Grip by Col. Littleton was a couple hundred dollars cheaper.
