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

Middle brass latch

Now the question is would you want to take this on your travels or your LV bag?
