Default Era Parts covers/bags

In catching up with my reading, The article on the Headlamp cover, by Rob Mills in the May/June Model A news was of interest to me. I had picked up a bunch of era fender bags, that I figured were used to ship new fenders or to store them in. I'm still not 100 % sure of their exact usage, but per Robs article, it seems they may have been to ship, likely discarded after installing parts. Anyway, these were manufactured by Kleen Kar, I have numerous front fender bags and 1 rear fender bag. One of the front fender bags has a parts tag from a 28-29 right front. The rear bag is obviously for a sedan fender. Does anyone have more info on these or other era parts bags?

Hi Steve,

Can't help with the info but would you be willing to send me a pattern (or measurements)? They would make great fender covers while I work on Barb.

Is there a NAME for the type of folks that SAVE/HOARD bags? I've heard the term, "BAG LADY"--Is that the same???--Is there a "BAG MAN" also?
