DESCRIPTION: ANTIQUE SUITCASE.

A QUALITY LEATHER CASE WITH BRASS AND COPPER RIVETS AND LOCKS (WORKING AND WITH KEY). THE LEATHER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A LIGHT CLEAN AND A FEED BUT LEFT WITH ALL THE AGE. THE STITCHING HAS COME AWAY AT THE BACK ON THE PROTECTIVE STRIP BUT THIS DOESN’T AFFECT USE OR LOOK.

INTERNALLY IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FABRIC LINING (LOTS OF MARKS AND STAINS) AND HAS THE ORIGINAL MAKERS LABEL FOR BILLINGS & EDMONDS TAILORS WHO WERE ESTABLISHED IN 1896, STILL EXIST TODAY, AND ARE HIGH QUALITY TAILORS MAKING SCHOOL UNIFORMS FOR ETON COLLEGE AND HARROW SCHOOL AMONGST OTHERS.

THE LOCK AND KEY ARE ORIGINAL AND WORKING.

PLEASE NOTE; THE KEYS ARE HANDMADE AND SPECIFIC TO THE LOCK SO REPLACEMENTS ARE HARD TO FIND, ALSO THE LOCKS ARE VERY OLD AND CAN FAIL, SO I’D ADVISE JUST USING THE KEYS MOSTLY AS DECORATION AND LOCKING THE BOX AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS THESE FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION).

AGE/CULTURE: EDWARDIAN/BRITISH.

SIZE: LENGTH 51CM, WIDTH 32CM, HEIGHT 13CM.

IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A VERY LIGHT CLEAN AND A BEESWAX POLISH.

UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO EXCESS PAPERWORK AND CONDITIONS I NO LONGER SELL TO COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. 

 CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE.
