LENLINE-1000 made in Canada leather belt pouch

[togie]

Hey Guys!

I was taking a look around a friends shop when i noticed this old leather bag. My friend noticed my interest in it and gave it to me.

I was hoping somone could give some info on this thing ...

The only info i can give you is that above the belt loops there is LENLINE-100 Made in Canada pressed into the leather.

Sure looks like a 1960's-1970's electricians pouch , to me , togie !

The clip on the outside of your little pouch usually held a small length of chain & a metal 'T' do-dad , for holding electrical tape .

thanks! i wasn't sure if it was used as a tool belt, book carrier or whatever.

i will keep searching google with the new info but if anyone has any more info on the name lenline-1000, keep the input coming!

Here's a few images of rather current electricians tool pouches , with the tape-holder (that you'd asked about in your PM to me) .
Sometimes an electrician would also use the front 'clip' on the pouch for holding a wrench &/or other tool as well .

Lenline is a rather well known tool maker/supplier in Canada .

Fancy, your one of a kind! the images you supplied really helped me figure out what the "T doo dad" was.

That all knowing brain of yours wouldent happend to have any history on the company would it (Dates established, date the company was closed if it was ...ect )? i will of course look around myself aswell but my googling skills airnt what they used to be.

Also if anyone has worked with cleaning and restoring leather i would love some tips. Again i will be off to google but any input would be amazing!
