Crafted with precision and patina, this vintage 1960s Gokey leather cartridge bag was built to endure—and it has. Made in St. Paul, Minnesota, by legendary American outfitter Gokey’s, this shoulder bag carries the kind of quiet authority that only comes from decades of utility, style, and field-tested craftsmanship.

Sturdy saddle-grade leather, a substantial brass buckle, adjustable shoulder strap with leather reinforcement, and a gleaming brass monogram plate stamped "C.W." on the flap make this a standout piece. Whether you’re trekking through open country or city streets, this bag delivers functional charm and heritage appeal in equal measure.

Originally designed for the sporting set, cartridge bags like this one were favored by hunters and outdoorsmen for carrying shells and field tools. Today, they’ve been embraced by collectors, stylists, and those who appreciate timeless design. Gokey’s legacy of American-made leather goods dates back to the 1850s, and this piece reflects that heritage with every stitch and buckle. The presence of a personalized brass plate suggests it was either custom-ordered or owned with pride—adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Add this slice of rugged American elegance to your everyday rotation or collection. They don’t make them like this anymore.
