Title: Simple Shot Bag in a Box Lot
Post by: Kevin on September 01, 2021, 09:29:48 PM

Greetings Everyone,

This shot bag was the primary reason for my recent purchase of a very eclectic box lot of shooting & hunting supplies.

Some of the stitching is letting loose but the hand carved spout and stopper have a lovely patina.  The spout has a slight funnel with the stopper not engaging the sides until about half way down.  Intentional funneling, just turned out that way, or wear inflicted over years of use - probably anyone's guess.

I removed an ounce or two of shot from it.  Most looked to be about size 6.

Enjoy,
Kevin
