Hello- here is a vintage "Salesman's Case" - I am thinking
from the 1960's or 1970's. It is very similar to the one I
carried in the 1972 - 1977 time frame when I sold bookkeeping
equipment to banks (Burroughs Corporation).
We had our price book - brochures - user lists, etc. in there.
If we were good - we would write orders from contracts that were
also in the case.
Modern day applications could include - pilot information, maps,
User Manuals, laptop, etc.
It does lock - 2 keys are included.
Measures 18 inches across, 8 inches deep, and 13 inches in height.
It weighs just under 5 pounds - so - pretty lightweight.
There are 3 compartments inside - separated by thin cloth material.
The manufacturer is "Ultimate". Black in color.
