McCarty 1541

McCarty 1541 is black from edge to edge.

Its sibling, McCarty 1540, has a tan line tracing the flap. This one does not. The edges are finished black, so the case reads as a single dark shape, and the only thing that catches the light is the brass.

There is a lot of that brass to look at. A hook hangs from a stitched leather tab in the middle of the front, and the close-up shows how heavy the casting is against the flat leather. Nothing else on the face competes with it.

The top handle is leather, fastened with brass rivets and a brass ring at each end. Down each side sits a D-ring, so a shoulder strap can be added. The back panel is plain, with stitching along the border.

Close-ups of the hook and the handle are in the gallery below.
