m1ashooter Posted January 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2011 Good day to all. I just received a 1936 Musette bag made by the Atlantic Products Corp in 1942. The bag has a laundry mark of T-6535 and appears to be in mint condition. The carring strap is marked Excel 1942. What puzzels me is the fabric of the bag makes a crinkeling sound. Were these bags treated with some kind of water proofing? An attitional surprise was found in the center compartment. Inside was a statement of paid commissions and a letter from The Prudential Insurance Company of America dated March 8 1943. The statement of commissions paid has the name of I. Thruston, Utica Office and is dated 3/5/43. The letter heading is in re Irving Thruston, earnings-year 1942. I can only assume this bag once belonged to Irving Thurston. Can anyone shed some light on this find for me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixbayonets! Posted January 12, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2011 Some musette bags were made out of a rubberized material, I consider this variation to be harder to find. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
