I don't expect to ever be truly competitive in Cowboy Action Shooting. I simply don't have the time, money or inclination to do all the shooting necessary to get that good. Therefore, I am making decisions based on aesthetics. Not a bad thing, so long as I'm having fun. Most of the top shooters have golf-bag-like carts to carry all their stuff around the range. Some are fairly simple, others are more elaborate. None are the sort of thing that would be seen in the 1870s. I'm sure I could come up with something appropriately steampunk but that idea just doesn't appeal to me. Having to build it dismantleable so I can pack it into the car is not the way I want to go. My aesthetic sense is that of a dime novel hero getting off of a train in some frontier town.
I hit on the idea of a doctor's bag. A few years back, a friend of mine was looking for one for his steampunk character and I happened to have found one at a flea market for $5. It wasn't in the best of shape, but it wasn't literally falling apart and you can't really go too wrong for only $5. Now I was looking for one for myself and I didn't expect to be that lucky again.
I wasn't, but I didn't make out too bad, finding one on eBay for $25 (plus $16 for shipping).I would have preferred a brown leather bag rather than the black but the bidding on those happened to go higher than I was willing to go.
It is labeled as an "Emdee by Schell" It's hard to tell how old it is but this particular bag design was patented (patent no. 1985521) in 1934, the Emdee name was trademarked in 1947, and the Schell Leather Company operated up until 1985. That's a pretty big window in which to try to judge something's age but I don't think doctors have made house calls with bags like this since before I was born so I think this qualifies as genuine antique.
It also wasn't cared for in the mean time and the leather lining has dried out and peeled away from the base. It's not so brittle that it is breaking apart but you can hear the fibers breaking should you try to move it around at all. I have some leather rejuvenatior but it is really the sort of thing for keeping leather pliable, not pulling it back from beyond the grave.
Thus, a trip to Tandy Leather. It used to be in Murrysville, only a 15 minute drive away. Then they moved out to Delmont, making the trip 20 minutes. But now, they have moved out to Greensburg, 45 minutes away. Much more inconvenient but I suppose it could be worse.
Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenation Cream was recommended. However, I was informed that it sometimes makes it difficult for adhesives to stick so I would need to first glue down where the leather had pulled up and wait for it to cure before having at it with the rejuvenator. I got some Barge for the glue, also recommended.
I have glued down the stuff coming loose on the inside and rejuvenated the outside. It looks very nice. Almost like new. The inside doesn't look quite so new but it doesn't look like it's falling apart.
Its size will allow me to carry several pistols, all the ammo I need, tools and cleaning supplies and still have room left over for some other things as necessary.
Now. How to carry my rifle and shotgun? Maybe something inspired by Lee Van Cleef in "For A Few Dollars More."
Schell's brewery has four little peachicks roaming the grounds this year. And they are oh so cute to look at!
**Schell, August, Brewing Company** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 74001007, date listed 12/27/1974
20th South St.
New Ulm, MN (Brown County)
The August Schell Brewing Company complex is in actuality comprised of five parts: The August Schell House and Garden/Park, the original House and Brewery, the Brew House, the Barrel House and Cellars, and the modern Bottling House. It is reached by a two mile drive from downtown New Ulm to the end of South Franklin Street. The buildings are situated on a sloping hillside on the bank of the Big Cottonwood River east of New Ulm. The entire setting is wooded and removed from any industrial area giving the whole secluded, estate-like appearance.
Built just six years after the founding of New Ulm in 1854, and one year before the Civil War, the August Schell Brewing Company is the lone survivor of the seven breweries which have operated in New Ulm.
Founder of the brewery which still bears his name, August Schell came to Minnesota in 1856 as a member of the Turner Colonization Society. He was born in Durnbach, Germany, 15 February 1828. In 1848 he came to America and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he followed the trade of machinist in the Cincinnati Locomotive works until moving on to New Ulm. (1)

Die Legende erzählt vom Stadtoriginal Margarethe Schell, genannt «Greth Schell», welche sich Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts zu später Stunde veranlasst sah, ihren weinseligen Mann in den Wirtshäusern abzuholen und anschliessend in einer «Chrätze» (Rückentragkorb) nach Hause zu schleppen. Begleitet wurde sie von den Lölis, den nicht minder angeheiterten Saufkumpanen des Mannes. Der Fasnachtsfigur Greth Schell ist in der Unter Altstadt ein Brunnen gewidmet. Er wurde vermutlich gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts errichtet. Die Greth-Schell-Figur auf dem Brunnen stammt vom Luzerner Bildhauer Rolf Brem und wurde 1977 realisiert.
