Difficult to tell from the angle but it looks like a Shut Flush lid rather than a Shut Over lid. We call them Executive cases these days but they were originally called Attaché Cases.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0aa959a0.jpg" border=0 width="149" height="154" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Traveling Writing Case not unlike the Executive Folios produced these days but by the look of it far more elaborate. It would have been interesting to see the lock engagement a hasp is visible on the flap but the lock plate if under the blotter would stop it Laying flat & scratch any polished desk. I would also expect it to be top heavy. Again all from the Victorian catalogue</B><B>.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0a38dd80.jpg" border=0 width="141" height="216" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>A fairly standard Cartridge Bag. The picture was taken from an old Victorian catalogue & they have not changed much over the years. With a slight modification they make excellent Handbags. (Note. The above is not what I would call a well made or top of the range Cartridge Bag).</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0a59e410.png" border=0 width="158" height="65" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>A Leg of Mutton Gun Case. (it refers to its shape). Not so popular these days as the Gun had to be dismantled.
