Pete,

In your reading as a Grouchophile, are you aware that Groucho gave the eulogy at T.S. Eliot's funeral.  TS was another grouchophile and so am I.

My problem is old age has withered the details of Groucho's TV show and many other facts. Ditto my sense of observation.

In the bible, which I never read cover to cover,  I believe is the expression: "Seek! and ye shall find." It appplies to my question who made my mystery camera bag.  Take a look at the attached photos and you'll see it was in the bag all the time.

Les, what a pleasure to be in the company of another Marxist, of the Groucho variety.  Yes, I did know that The Great Grouch delivered the eulogy at Eliot's funeral.  They were fairly regular correspondents as well (of course, before TS died) for a number of years.  You can read their missives to each other (if you haven't already) in The Groucho Letters.

I also have the double-LP set An Evening With Groucho, in which he tells about the eulogy, and remarks that he told a rather lame, inappropriate joke therein.  A couple of years ago I interviewed Marvin Hamlisch over the phone for a radio show I hosted (he was coming to Corpus Christi to perform as a guest of the C.C. Symphony), and asked him how it had been, to be Groucho's accompanist for that one-man show all those years ago.  He said he had very fond memories of both the show and of Groucho -- that Groucho had always treated him kindly, and had been a real gentleman.  That was nice.

Now, getting back to Mary, I mean, your camera bag...I'm sure the great man would have said, had he been in your shoes, "Imagine them putting the name of the bag inside the bag!  A more ridiculous notion I've never entertained."
