I'm looking for a used Baggins handlebar bag. I believe it went by the name Hobo and various others. It is about 12" wide 8" high and about 3" deep. Has two leather straps to attach it. It can be one of the later incarnations. They changed so often, I don't know what they were called.

Jon:

You are correct.  It's called the "Hobo Bag".  I've got one but it's not for sale; way too useful!  The strap spacing also allows it to fit a Brooks saddle.  IIRC someone still makes a similar one, & maybe another list member will recall that source.

Acorn has one:

Acorn makes great stuff.  I have not seen one of these in the flesh but I'll bet it's as useful as the Baggins Hobo.  Same rear pockets (excellent location for phone, keys, wallet, etc).  Check it out.

Nice-Acorn bags are superb. That looks a bit deeper (front to back)
than the original hobo to me but otherwise it's quite similar...

I may have what you're looking for; I'll send a picture when I get home from family holiday celebrations later today.

Happy Christmas!

Noah, I'd be interested in seeing what you have. I'm also open to a boxy bag.

Jon,

I also have a very lightly used Baggins Hobo bag I'm not using.  I will be going on a family trip for a week, but if you haven't found one by then (or if you can wait), let me know.

Actually, as I think about it, mine is made by Carradice and is the green color.  Carradice made it for a while before there were delivery issues, at which time Riv went to the Baggins line made in the US.

Yeah, those Carradice-made versions are nice. Rivendell design
features and Carradice quality and weather resistance.

I have a saddle bag/hobo bar bag combo. Mine aren't for sale but you
can see them here:
