It measures approx 14”x12” so wouldn’t have been a suitcase, maybe a very early briefcase. I’m thinking a sympathetic clean and leather feed would do it good. Then, it might make a great watch box with the addition of a thick foam pad.

I haven’t found much in the way of usable furniture for my new home yet, but I love this.

I have a couple of small suitcases that are not much bigger than a briefcase, and have been in the family since the 1940s at least. I also wonder what they were used for, perhaps overnight stays? Can't find much on google but perhaps the TZ hive mind will know.
