Got this off ebay. It's marked to Dr Mack Voorhees Stone (1875-1941). He graduated medical school in 1896. Ancestry shows his military service as apt Asst Surgeon Lt (JG) on 7 Jun 1900. Released from duty 26 Jan 1904. The 1900 census record dated 3 Sep 1900 shows him on the U.S.S Brutus at San Luis D'Apra, Guam which coincides with the Wikipedia listing for the Brutus. It's more of a canvas locker than a bag. Something you don't see every day.
