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.

Samsonite Streamlite Train Case by Schwayder Bros of Denver

This is my favorite line of vintage luggage. Samsonite "Streamlite" was manufactured from 1941-1955, by the Schwayder Bros of Denver. This piece is the "Train Case" in classic Samsonite color "Saddle Brown." The exterior of the case is in great vintage condition. Endcap stitching is in tact, hardware is in working order, and the handle has no hairline cracks (common to these pieces). Lock works and key is included. The interior is in fair condition. There are several tears to the vinyl lining, and the cosmetic tray is missing. Mirror is in tact but exhibits silver loss as expected for age.

Measurements: 13" Width, 8 1/2" Height, 8" Depth.

Vintage Condition: Fair
