Nothing says Old Money Ivy quite like a vintage leather briefcase, and I have two...!

1) Classic vintage hard-side briefcase. Likely dating from the 1960s this comes form the estate of a VERY prominent Princeton attorney from a white-shoe law firm. The locks work cleanly and well (although the tabs don't snap up all the time, as they used to in the Kennedy administration) as does the interior hardware. This case has the typical patina from use, and is monogrammed under the handle; this could be ignored or gold-leafed over by your cobbler. This case is in Very Good condition, and ready to give you decades of service!

Measures: 18 1/2" long, 12 1/2" wide, and 5" deep. Asking just $45, boxed and shipped in the USA.



2) Vintage Air King" briefcase. Dating from when jet travel was exotic and glamorous this solid case is covered with top-grain cowhide. It has some cosmetic flaws--the most noticeable being the strip of leather missing from one side--but it is so solidly constructed that it will be happy to serve as a briefcase for a couple of decades to come. The twin locks on the front function well, although they no longer spring up. The interior features an accordian file system on the top. This has the usual patina of a vintage case, and so is in Good/Very Good condition.

Measures: Length: 17 3/4", Width: 11 3/4", Height 5". Asking just $40 or offer.



3) Leather attache case with lock and original key. This is a lovely, classically minimalist attache case! Made by Duolynx, this has two interior compartments as well as an interior zippered security compartment. The back has a futher zippered compartment. This comes complete with its original key, and is in excellent condition except that the left hand side of the handle is currently held on my a paperclip--very securely, I might add, as I didn't notice this flaw until I was photographing! This would be a very easy and cheap fix for your local cobbler. But because of this this lovely case is just in Very Good condition, and so is just $39, or offer.

15" long, 11" high, 3" wide.
