Manufactured by Shwayder Bros., Inc. in Denver, Colorado, this piece features the iconic vinyl "Saddle Tan" hard shell exterior, robust brass-plated steel hardware, and the highly sought-after original woven silk interior label. Compared to typical examples on the market that suffer from extensive water staining, shredded pockets, and heavy canvas degradation, this specific case boasts an interior that is remarkably clean and near-pristine for its age. It is an ideal specimen for serious vintage collectors, retro travel enthusiasts, or high-end display.Specifics:Brand: Samsonite (Shwayder Bros., Inc.)Model: Streamlite PullmanStyle Number: 4936Era: 1950sColor: Saddle Tan exterior / Dusty Rose (Peach) quilted satin interiorKey: Not included (Suitcase is UNLOCKED and fully accessible; compatible with standard master key No. 96)Condition:Exterior: The hard shell remains structurally excellent and sturdy with typical light scuffs from historical travel.
