Re: The Suitcase FOUND !!!!!

While scouring the 'net for more info about The Suitcase I found this site:

H. Koch & Sons

and I loved this statement:

quote:
...From 1909 until 1945 Koch manufactured quality leather goods, wooden and fiber suitcases, steamer trunks and carrying cases. In the late 1940’s Koch was again recognized as a pioneer company in the fiberglass technology area and acclaimed to have produced “the strongest suitcase in the world” by the American Luggage Manufacturers Association. That acknowledgement gained the company marketable credibility with the US government and lead to entry into being a supplier for the military in instrumentation cases used in nuclear tests at Eniwetok and Johnston Islands in the Pacific.



Cool story ! just though I would share this !

Re: The Suitcase Found !!!!!

I am almost certain that I saw a suitcase like chucklbunny's at a local thrift store, but my wife talked me out of not buying it. This was about 4+ months ago. Lets pray to the Almighty that it still may be there when I go check.
