I just finished up this belt bag for a friend. It's a small size bag measuring 5" at the opening and almost 7" at it's widest point and 4 1/2" deep with a 1" gusset add.  There is a small pocket sewn on the front of the bag. This is the second bag that I have used vinegaroon to dye the leather. This is a great size for a fire starting kit. The bag is the same size as the one I made for myself. I carry lose ball and tow for shooting or cartridges in mine along with a couple of extra flints and a small turn screw in the front pocket. I can do all of my loading from this bag.

The wife has covered another glass bottle. The bottle is to small to be a canteen and to large for a pocket flask holding about 9oz. and stands 5" tall and 4 1/2" at its widest point. Its covered in 2/3oz. veg tan leather, hand stitched, dyed and sealed with bee's wax.

Here are some photos of a belt bag that I made copying the lines of the Lyman's bag. I donated the bag to the "School of the Ranger" to be use for there charity auction for the "Friends of Fort Frederick".
