Suitcase Details

Here's a shot of the closing snaps of the biggest suitcase. It has some rusty spots on the outside but inside of the clips looks clean.

























I tested out closing and opening it, and it looks like there's a system as in with old things! I've found that if you hold the bottom firmly and then close the top, the closures clip in place easily.
I've filled it with things and the locks seem tight once shut and should not pop open as long as it's not stuffed tight with things. Also you can see the little scuff mark on the top of the case.





































The two smaller suitcases work perfectly and don't have rusty marks on the clips. The middle suitcase has a mark on the inside pocket as seen on the etsy listing. They are in quite amazing shape considering that they must be at least 20 yrs old! I found a british coin while cleaning them dated 1973 (though that does not necessarily mean it's that old).
