Functional Object - Leather folder, 1960's

Physical description

Two pieces of heavy brown leather about 4mm thick joined together with a lighter piece of brown leather glued and stitched with heavy thread to form a Trip Way Bill Holder for use on the SEC trams by Conductors. The outside of the folder has been tanned to give a dark brown tan. The inside of the folder has been stained light brown. The outer corners of the folder have been rounded. The folder has been scribed by a tool to give the item some presentation.



Not known who made it, could have been SEC Depot Ballarat, upholstery workers.

Inscriptions & markings

On the inside in the top left hand corner "Trip Way Bill Holder" in blue ink. Also written marks on the leather in the bottom left hand corner - probably from the leather supplier.
