Lot 1289:
A Mid-20th Century Retro Orange-Brown Faux Crocodile Hardshell Carrying Case
Sold for: $30
Description
A Mid-20th Century Retro Orange-Brown Faux Crocodile Hardshell Carrying Case. This hardshell carrying case or briefcase exhibits a retro aesthetic, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century. Its exterior is finished in an orange-brown synthetic material, likely vinyl or plastic, textured to simulate crocodile or alligator skin. The case is secured by two silver-tone metal latches and features a matching synthetic handle, to which a small, unreadable red tag is tied. Upon opening, the interior reveals a dark grey, convoluted (‘egg-crate’ style) foam lining in both halves, designed for protective storage.
Condition report:
The overall condition suggests moderate use, with visible scuffs, surface wear, and some discoloration consistent with its apparent age. The latches appear functional. The interior foam shows minor compression from use.
