Following a day at the beach, swimmers would enter the bath house to change cloths placing there wet bathing suit inside the water resistant Beach Bag. July 4th, a most patriotic summer holiday, a bag such as this would be offered for sale on many wooden Boardwalks across the USA.
CONDITIONS : Overall condition is excellent. No tears, No rips, No holes. Close examination you can see some wearing of the material, along the top edge at the opening. Slight staining exists, all is rather faint. PICTURES COVER THE ENTIRE BAG, NOTHING LEFT TO GUESSWORK, BOTH IN AND OUT. I have not washed bag, did not want to risk color fading.
