About the Item

Vintage Crocodile Leather Hornback Suitcase, Storage Case. The leather showcases a stunning brown hue, accentuated by the distinctive hornback relief of the crocodile on the top side of the suitcase. The brass hardware comes with a key, allowing the locks to be securely fastened. The handle, corners, and bottom show signs of use, adding character to the piece. The interior is lined with a rich brown-orange satin, providing a touch of elegance. Produced around the 1930s, this suitcase is perfect for use as a visible decorative storage piece. According to the preserved address label, it once belonged to Mrs. Frida John from the port city of Gothenburg, Sweden. I believe, or suspect, that the suitcase was manufactured in England, though I haven't found any markings to confirm its origin.
