Travelling in style in 1920s - Case of a Travelling Trunk
I bought this near mint condition travelling trunk about two years ago and since then I have acquired another 11 more but this first one remains my favourite as it has not been used and still has the company label inside it.
Top view
I inverted the based and this is what it looks at the bottom section - not too bad I guess
The inside paint is still very good
Best steel trunks warranted - with a ship's steering wheel.
This symbol is chosen I guess because ships were the most common mode of transportation back in those days
The label is intact!!!!! This is the best part
Warranted Best Steel Trunk
Made in England
Rassoolbhoy Allybhoy
Java Street
Kuala Lumpor
Front locking mechanism
Right brass latch
Middle brass latch
Left brass latch
Internal rivets in very good condition
Screws in very good condition
Reinforcement bars
Side view
Now the question is would you want to take this on your travels or your LV bag?
