Antique 20’s Crocodile Leather Briefcase

Antique 20’s Crocodile leather briefcase

This unique briefcase was made by Cuthbertson & Harper. This long-running firm was established in 1837 in Calcutta, India. They were specialised in manufacturing leather goods, but also undertook skilful mounting of hunting trophies. Underneeth the front cover the briefcase still shows an original name tag of the firm.

The bag can be fastened with two croc leather straps and features a croc leather handle on top, three large compartments – all big enough to store all sorts of documents and a laptop – and a small compartment that is sealable with a Talon zipper. Sadly the original key for the lock is missing.

It would still be the perfect briefcase for daily use but would also be an unique decor piece to display in your collection or cabinet of curiosities!

After a century the briefcase still remains in good condition but shows signs of wear and use.
Over the years it acquired a nice patina which in my eyes only adds more charm to it.
