This is a fabulous vintage case or small overnight case made by the celebrated luggage company: Antler.
It dates to the late 1960s / early 1970s.
It is in a harder-to-find bright scarlet texture leatherette material - and as you can see from my images - this is in pristine condition with no marks or scuffs. I don't think that it was used very much - and probably stayed always at home as a storage item.
It has lots of shiny chrome trims to stop bumping to the corners etc - a mark of a quality case. It also has a combination lock - so if you want to keep things safe inside you can lock it with the locking code - and no one can get inside. The lock works perfectly and is a strong one - again all in shiny chrome.
The interior is lovely and clean with a grey wipe-clean synthetic interior - grey padding to the inner lid, with decorative ruffles around the side. The mirror is original and in good condition with no spotting or condition issues - and a nice large size.
The base has its original thick clear plastic covering - to stop anything spilling on the base and staining it - and there are little elastic bands to put lotion bottles into - and keep upright in transit.
I think that my images do this item justice - there are no scuffs to the base - and there are four chrome stoppers to raise the base of the ground. The handle is a thick red plastic - and on a good handle holder section - undamaged, chrome metal and sturdy to take a lot of weight when the case is packed.
A fabulous example - the only thing is the two little sticky labels on the inside - for the previous Scottish owner. They have rather posh addresses - so have left them - but could probably be carefully peeled off and any sticky residue cleaned off with a dab of petrol on a cotton wool pad.
Dimensions: the width is 15 inches. The depth is 9 1/4 inches and the height is 9 inches. It is 2.1 kg unpacked
A great case - top-quality maker and a much sought-after colour. You don't often find these cases now about 60 years old in such exceptional condition.
The perfect box for crafters or make-up artists etc. - or indeed just for travelling to your favourite vintage fairs and weekend celebrations.
I don't have another - newly listed March 2023 - so don't hang about if you fancy it.. am actually quite tempted to keep it myself.. difficult decisions.
The asking price here is fair for the colour, condition and Antler brand. It is a sturdy item - and as such as a bit of weight to it. I will have to send it to you with Parcelforce to keep it all safe in transit. This will cost £10 and applied to your order at the checkout.
