$55
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this charming vintage 20th Century Australian dual-handled vinyl suitcase, estimated as dating from 1950’s to 1960’s and made by Fred Dodge Limited (Melbourne, Victoria). Founded by Fred Dodge in 1938, the company quickly expanded and operated in Collingwood (Smith Street) for many years. It continues successfully today as the Australian agent for Samsonite luggage. The original factory tag is present.
Created in a quality brown vinyl, the slightly-unusual design features two handles with extended covering flaps. Expands out and holds a large volume (could easily contain a laptop, or enough clothes for a short/overnight stay). The zip works as it should.
Very ‘Mad Men’ chic, a fun and funky piece of useful retro luggage.
In excellent original condition, no rips or tears. There is some very light patination (as you’d expect from a vintage item and not modern reproduction).
Measures (excluding handles) 30cm (h) x 45cm (l) x 21cm (w) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
Cash or direct deposit sale only. Can freight at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss) or can personally deliver to Macedon Ranges, Melbourne, Geelong or Ballarat CBD’s for a fee. Where possible (or upon request) a physical inspection is available and always encouraged. Accurate as possible description at time of listing, however like any secondhand item is sold without guarantee or return so please ask any questions before purchase - as any sale is final.
