Description
A good example of a leather travelling case with a fitted interior, dating from the early 20th Century. It most likely belonged to a doctor or vet and the soft lined interior is split into lots of small compartments for holding bottles.
The case itself is made from a beautiful tan with a leather carrying handle. It has a brass latch and lock plate on the front which is engraved with the retailer's name "A.W.Dear. 35 Knightsbridge. London". There is also a matching label below the lid. There are initials painted on the top "E.B.W".
It is a really good quality piece with copper rivets holding on leather corner pieces and a very sturdy structure. It even comes with its original key.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
