Description: | inscription, punched, CAMBIST
Bag originally used to collect toll money at the Tyne Tunnels. It was manufactured by Cambist and is called the Conductor's bag 303 special. It is made of black leather with a brass frame and brass strap holders. Internally there are two compartments and a roomy middle section. Externally there is another compartment and two strengthened attachment points which could be used to fasten coin dispensers. The shoulder strap is adjustable and there is a number '16' crudely scratched into the top of the brass frame. The bag will have been used at some point after 1969 (when the Cambist company was founded) until the late twentieth century.
