Vintage Samsonite Streamlite Ladies Small Overnight Suitcase, Saddle Brown

I'm quite partial to this series of Samsonite luggage manufactured circa 1941-1955 by the Schwayder Brothers (inventors and makers of Samsonite). This suitcase is the hard to find "Ladies Small Overnight" in Samsonite Saddle Brown. It's a petite case and perfect for a child. Works as an airline carry-on under current FAA regulations as well. Though it is still usable and sturdy, stitching has loosened around the exterior endcap trim and the handle has hairline cracks. This is one of the most collectible vintage cases around, in the most desirable color and price reflects condition. This piece also bears a great initial plate "MLK." The interior is in very good condition for age. All hardware is in working order though, there is no key for the lock.

15" Length, 10" Height, 7" Depth at Base, tapers to 5 1/2" Depth at Top.

Vintage Condition: Fair
