I picked up this mystery bag used with a couple of other used bike bags from The Tourist in Santa Fe, NM a while back and assumed it was intended as a down tube bag. However on closer inspection I realized the Velcro attachments on it are only the “hook” side, so the straps can’t be wrapped around a frame and Velcro back on itself. It has no makers marks, so it could be homemade. The other bags I bought with it were a couple Revelate Designs fork bags, and some of the OG porcelain rocket micro panniers, so I’m kind of assuming it is a revelate or PR bag of some sort.
It opens on both ends, and is large enough for 2 1L Nalgene bottles end to end.

Maybe use it like a revelate Joey downtube bag?
Ah, that’s a Schlong Bag. Use it to hold your schlong on long bikepacking trips.
Tent pole bag? Straps to a frame bag and sits on top tube?
It looks like a tent pole bag, made from ultra 200. No idea who makes that specific one.
Downtube bag. I’d abandon the straps (likely the reason you found it) and use voile straps to hold it on. I made a similar one to hold tools, tubes, lube.
material looks like x-pac, which by itself is waterproof, but if the seems aren’t taped (which as far as i know isnt doable for x-pac) then the drybag wont stay dry forever, just keep that in mind.
Looks like an early version of a Revelate Joey downtube bsg.
