Are you looking for the exact bag... or just something that fits the part? There are usually a handful of them on ebay.
Oldroads.com has some lesser quality bags:
If you want something nicer than you could get one from Carradice, Acorn, Brooks or Zimbale to name a few.

I put this 10 dollar bag on my 1973 Raleigh. There are more of these available if you like them.

The bag was 10 dollars. I WISH the bike had been... that was a tad more expensive.

The one that mkeller has on his looks a lot like the (Schwinn Approved) bag on put on my old Schwinn Varsity.

The original bags on those bikes were some kind of vinyl, cloth-faced on the interior with thinnish leather straps--not fancy at all but pretty sturdy. I can't believe the prices they're fetching on eBay. So yes, I'd love to hear more about the $10 alternative!

Ooh, that's a good idea. I just had a shoe repair place fix a tear in my (40+ year old) Brooks saddle; he could probably fix up some straps no prob.
