Someone thinks the tump was invented 100 years ago? That's pretty gullible. It's been around since pre-history.

Seems like the age provenance on the piece is pretty weak - seems all based on the Nov 10 1882 stamp on the buckle.

Didn't know you could get a patent in 2 months back then (now its often years). And he didn't invent the tumpline - that was used by everyone all over the world to carry heavy loads.

Even if there was a period of time that they put Nov on instead of Dec - seems pretty easy to fake.

Lots of $$ for an old pack. Cool and all, but not $50K cool.

Heck, if I owned it I'd consider donating it for a $50k tax receipt. Perhaps a deal that provides a $10k tax receipt every year for 5 years.

Check out this ebay auction (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) The seller claims this is a bag from 1882, within a month of the original patent being approved. Asking price: $46,775. He says it's in usable condition Worth a read if you're into this sort of thing...
