    Should I lock a hard case vintage suitcase or tie it ?

    28 April 2010

    I have a vintage suitcase (70’s, perfect condition) that I plan on using on traveling this month from LAX – to WA. The locks (with keys) work perfectly, however I cannot get a TSA approved lock because there’s nowhere to put it. I was considering some sort of belt or strap around the shell but I’m still wary of just sending it out unlocked. Should I go this route? Please help!

    I wouldn’t want to imagine what would happen to my suitcase if they couldn’t pry it open.

    Do keys to vintage suitcases like american tourister and samsonite fit more than one suitcase?
    I have a couple of suitcases w/keys and wanted to know if I could try them out on locked suitcases I find at thrift stores and flea markets.

    Is this vintage suitcase worth anything?

    6 April 2010


    It is a 1956 (I think) Samsonite Ultralite suitcase. Overall it’s in great condition, but the outside is pretty scuffed up. Lock and snaps still work great, and it even has the key with the Samsonite logo imprinted on it. The inside is in excellent condition, original straps, buckles, etc. Has Schwayder Bros. Denver Style 7532 fabric tag. Just came across it, and I’m pretty sure it’s the original Samsonite luggage piece from 1956. Does anyone know anything about these pieces, or there value?
