Antique Luggage Suitcase - Distressed Early 1900 s - Art Deco. This suitcase is not in the best of shape, but since it was stored in a farmhouse attic for over 100 years, it is understandable. It belonged to my grandparents and is probably from around 1915. It makes a great display item. It has a heavy paper lining. The corners are reinforced with leather. The leather handle is gone and the leather straps to buckle it are too. The edges are worn and there are 2 holes on the side opposite the metal latch. Please see the photos. The suitcase measures approximately 23" x 13" x 6".
