    This authentic vintage tool bag was issued by the SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français), the French national railway company, and used by mechanics to carry their tools on the job.

In front it still shows SNCF, stamped into the leather.

One of the original front buckles was missing and has been carefully replaced with a new one in a matching dark brown tone.

    To preserve the leather and enrich its appearance, the bag has been thoroughly cleaned with saddle soap and treated with grease and beeswax. The result is a supple, conditioned surface with a subtle, protective sheen — ready to be displayed or used once again.
