Hello Bob,
There is a possibility that your snaildrum carrier is a reproduction or maybe one made commercially during the 1920's in the US. According to two catalogs which I own, they show a leather carrier, but I have no idea what detail to look for on a leather carrier. I own an original WWI canvas military type, and maybe someone else on this forum can review your images and determine the period of production for a leather type carrier.
Cheers,
Albert
