Vintage Samsonite hard-sided suitcase in a classic mid-century brown color, made by Shwayder Bros, Inc. Denver, Colorado. Nice overall condition for its age – scuffed and a bit dirty from use, but not dried out or cracked.

Includes the original Samsonite key, and the lock opens and closes properly, which is getting harder to find on these older cases.

Approx. size:

• Length: about 21 in

• Height: about 13.5 in

• Depth: about 8 in

Details:

• Brand: Samsonite / Shwayder Bros. Inc. Denver, Colorado (metal badge on exterior, fabric label inside)

• Color: warm brown / tan

• Hard-sided vintage luggage with top handle and brass-tone hardware

• Original Samsonite key attached inside; lock mechanism works

• Interior: light tan fabric lining with elastic side pockets and straps

Condition – please read:

• Exterior shows typical vintage wear: scuffs, scratches, small marks and light soiling from decades of storage and travel

• Corners and edges have some rub wear, but no major cracks or splits in the shell that I can see

• Interior lining shows age: some wrinkles, spots and discoloration, especially in the pockets (see photos)

• Straps and pockets are present; some wear from use

• Overall, a solid vintage suitcase – best for light use, storage or decorative display / photo prop, not heavy modern airline travel

Great piece for mid-century décor, stage/film props, store display, or stacking with other vintage suitcases.
