Highlights
Elegant British travel suitcase made of vulcanized fibre with a grainy finish, evoking an alligator effect, a material that is both lightweight and particularly resistant, widely used since the 1930s.
Its simple and functional silhouette, typical of the mid-20th century, is enhanced here by a beautiful, warm, and authentic tobacco-brown patina. The reinforced corners, metal clasps, and original handle contribute to its utilitarian and durable character.
The handle is marked "British Durex Made" as well as "UK Pat. 377963", attesting to a patented design of the time and quality British manufacturing.
It is in very good condition, in its original state, with signs of age consistent with its age and use. The clasps are perfectly functional, with a springy action. The interior, lined with its original paper, is clean and in good condition.
The key is missing, as is often the case with this type of old luggage, but this does not affect its proper closure.
Dimensions: H33 x L56 x D14 cm
Weight: 1.900 kg
