Vintage "Zero" Aluminum Attaché / Briefcase P5-SI by Haliburton - New Old Stock

About the Item

A brand new vintage "Zero" aluminum attaché / briefcase model #P5-SI 5" Premier by Halliburton, circa 1990s. This piece is "New Old Stock (NOS)" and has never been used and comes with original tags. The piece is in like new condition and looks fantastic. The case measures 18"W x 5"D x 13"H" and includes a fan file. Great vintage find straight out of a time capsule! #4088   Erle P. Halliburton, the American founder of Halliburton, had commissioned the aluminium case in 1938 from aircraft engineers because other luggage could not endure the rough travel through Texas oil fields. In addition to being more durable than a leather or cloth case due to its rigidity, the aluminium case seals tightly against dust and water. Famously, the nuclear football, the briefcase which the President of the United States can use to order a nuclear strike, is a modified Zero Halliburton case, although enclosed in a black leather 'jacket' to make it less conspicuous in public or diplomatic contexts. The aluminum cases have appeared in more than 200 Hollywood movies and television shows, often as a MacGuffin. In addition to aluminum.
