Hello list

Does anyone know the history of the Mussett bag ??

When was the first ones produced? (Ihave seen 1940 ones on ebay)

Who all made them during WWII ??

I have tried to start collecting 1942 made bags....its hard to find that
"perfect" bag, isnt it !

I travel all over the world for a ball bearing company.....I have one with
me everywhere!

I just took a tour of the Normandy beaches, and could have sold my bag many
times !

Any help appreciated !
