Vintage pair of coordinating Samsonite Streamlite suitcases by Schwayder Brothers, Inc Denver (circa 1941-1955). Both are Samsonite's Streamlite color "Natural Rawhide" which is a marbled tan. This set includes one "Ladies Overnight Regular" suitcase, model number 4531 and one Train Case (model 4512). Both in exceptional condition for age. The lift-out cosmetic tray in the train case has a small chip to one corner but, this does not prevent or deter use. Train case mirror is in tact as are interior stitched pockets. Mirror is in excellent condition. The Ladies Overnight has has two elasticized pockets, tie-downs, and ruched divider. There is one small pinhole to the fabric lining in the base but no other stains or tears present. Both have keys and working locks.
The Samsonite Ladies' Overnight Regular measures 21" wide, 15" tall (18 1/4" with handle extended), 7" depth at base tapers to 6" at top of case. Two interior compartments are separated with a ruched divider and each measures 20x14x3"
The Train Case measures 13 1/4" wide, 9" tall (11 1/2" with handle extended), 8 1/2" depth at base tapers to 7 1/2" depth at top of case.
