Old Tuff-Wear Bag

Hey Dutchman, how old is this one, and where is the valve? Also, what is that poking out from the laces? Thanks for your knowledge.

Whoa this is a find. I can't remember the last time that I've seen a Brooklyn made Tuf Wear bag. Yes that is the inflation tube sticking out of the neck, so that dates it no later than the early to mid 1930's, probably earlier.
