    date unknown, I was told it was a PO rider's pouch for circuit riders delivering letters. Vintage leather, appears well taken care of. Could it be old enough to be a Pony Express letter satchel?

      Could be a military Despatch Riders Map Case - does it have any markings inside ? arrows or any numbers ?

      It only has a few numbers, no letters or words

      I can find no similar item anywhere to compare it to. Are there any P.O. collectors out there who might know something?
