CAN ANYONE HELP?

Ken Buckley has been asked if he could help trace  the whereabouts of a leather Gladstone Bag, embossed with the initials EMS. 
The item was sold, complete with bowls, in the mid 1980's, possibly in the Formby area.
Sentimental reasons have prompted this request.
If anyone can help, please contact me, Ken Buckley 01704 872 834.
