Vintage Suitcase Cream with Red Satin Lining Small Size 1950's Handmade Crown Uk
THANKS FOR LOOKING
WE SELL LOADS OF VINTAGE SUITCASES BUT THIS ONE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND VERY, VERY DIFFERENT SO PLEASE TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO READ THE DESCRIPTION ALL THE WAY TO THE END
GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VINTAGE EARLY 1950's SUITCASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SPECIALIST ITEM SO IF YOU'RE READING THIS THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY AWARE OF HOW DIFFICULT IT HAS BECOME TO FIND ORIGINAL 50's CASES THESE DAYS DUE TO HIGH DEMAND.
WE'RE A BUSINESS SELLER AND CURRENTLY HAVE 38 VINTAGE SUITCASES AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS COLOURS AND SIZES SO PLEASE CHECK OUR EBAY SHOP FOR ALTERNATIVES.
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE THIS ONE A STANDOUT PIECE;
FIRSTLY, THE COLOUR - IF YOU WANT A VINTAGE SUITCASE GET A CREAM ONE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DIRTY BUT IT SHOULD CLEAN UP REALLY WELL (REQUIRES A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE FROM YOURSELF!). THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDES TO FINFLD COLOURS FOR OLDER CASES.
SECONDLY, IS THE LINING - IT A STUNNING SCARLET SATIN. MANY OF THESE ARE USED AS DISPLAY CASES AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE BEST LINING YOU'LL EVER SEE.
THIRDLY, IT WAS MADE BY CROWN. IF YOU HAVENT HEARD OF THEM BEFORE THEY WERE A BRITISH COMPANY WHO WERE THE MAIN RIVAL TO ANTLER...UNTIL ANTLER PERFORMED A HOSTILE TAKEOVER AND BOUGHT THEM OUT! (QUITE AN INTRIGUING STORY IF YOU WANT TO DO SOME RESEARCH...JEEZ, I OBVIOUSLY SPEND TOO MUCH TIME HANGING AROUND SUITCASES!). CROWN SUITCASES ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO THIS DAY! THEY'RE ANTLERS PREMIUM RANGE MODELS
THIRDLY, THE DESIGN. THIS IS MADE FROM VULCANIZED FIBERBOARD AND FIBREGLASS WHICH WAS A NEW TECHNOLOGY BACK IN THE 50's DEVELOPED BY GLOBETROTTER. IT'S EXTREMELY LIGHT BUT VERY TOUGH TOO
WE'VE BEEN SELLING ANTIQUE SUITCASES FOR YEARS - MAINLY TO THE FILM, TV, MUSIC AND FASHION INDUSTRIES WHO GENERALLY NEED A FAST DELIVERY (SO FAR WE'VE DONE JAMES BOND, DOWNTON ABBEY, KILLING EVE, THE IMITATION GAME, INDIANA JONES, CALL THE MIDWIFE, PEAKY BLINDERS ETC. - PLEASE ASK FOR REFERENCES). IF THIS IS YOU THEN AND URGENT, WE CAN GENERALLY GET THEM TO YOU NEXT MORNING (SHIPPING PRICE WILL BE SET BY PARCELFORCE 24). ALSO GREAT FOR EVENTS, WEDDING RECEPTIONS, SHOP DISPLAYS AND KEEPING PERSONAL ITEMS IN!
