Walter at bagophily.com headquarters

Famed German baggist Walter Brinker paid a long-overdue visit to the bagophily.com headquarters on 14 February. He met the bagophily.com senior management, inspected the archives, and shared bag-collecting gossip with staff.

Walter (left) is pictured here with bagophily.com's Senior Baggist, Paul Mundy. Paul is seen holding a prized item from Walter's collection: an ancient German bag saying "Nach Gebrauch, nicht aus dem Fenster werfen, sondern auf dem Boden stellen" (After use, do not throw out of the window, but place on the floor).

Unfortunately despite the best efforts of bagophily.com's caterer and wine cellarer, Walter remembered to take this bag back home with him.

This is the second of a series about bagophiles in their natural habitat. Want to have your picture on bagophily.com? Send me a jpg, and I'll put it on the web!
