    Are you asking who the maker is? And, if so, may I ask why?

    So you have taken some stills of a movie and described what the prop is and which character handled it and you want to know what type of Gladstone bag it is.?
    There isn't a type as they all fall into a classic design and are made of leather.

    I am looking for the most likely maker based on teh style it doesnt have to be THE exact one but it has to be real close.

    You can buy second hand leather Gladstone bags in second hand shops, charity shops or selling venues online. Afaik they are all good. Just look for one that is a similar size, the same colour and the right price for you.

    I see Mulberry has made similar but suspect they'd be a bit pricy. You might just want to search online sales sites, such as eBay and Poshmark, to find the one that comes closest. The color is Burgundy, if that helps.

    Jason Smith on FB crows-"Got mine off eBay for twenty quid Mate !"
    Someone else came up with this Etsy Listing-'Beautiful Vintage Brown Genuine Leather Gladstone Doctor Bag from TEXIER France-$210.75'
    PS- I'd go w/ the 20 quid option (just me).

    The good thing about gladstone bags is that they're pretty cheap (or at least I have found them to be so).

    I owned one for years (until I sold it a few months ago) that I bought at an antiques shop as a child. It was just $20 back then, and it was a great weekender bag for years.

    There are plenty of single-handle Gladstones (the one I owned was a single-handler) you just gotta be patient and search.

    Trust me, there's NO shortage of these bags. They were the 1800s equivalent of the roll-on cabin-bag today. You just gotta know exactly what you want, and hunt for it.

    And use different terms.

    Gladstone bag, doctor's bag, kit bag, gatemouth bag, etc, etc, etc.
