Description

Vintage Lilly Pebbled Leather Doctor Bag w/ Talon Purse & Medical Tools

Classic vintage Lilly doctor’s bag crafted from genuine cowhide with a rich pebbled texture and brass hardware. The front clasp is engraved “Lilly,” and the bag retains a professional, well-made form with sturdy handles and frame construction. Included is a matching Talon-brand cowhide hand purse, a Pocket-Fit Misdom-Frank Heimer reflex hammer, and a Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories Triphasil pregnancy calculator wheel. Both the main bag and inner purse are personalized to the original owner, Judith A. Ameriks, M.D., adding provenance and character.

A striking ensemble representing mid-20th-century medical craftsmanship and utility, ideal for display or collection.

Condition

In good vintage condition overall, with visible finish wear and surface loss in areas from age and use. The leather remains pliable, though there are minor seam tears at points of pressure, and the brass fittings show mild patina. Personalized embossing and interior name markings are clear. The set presents well and maintains full structural integrity.
