    HI TO ALL!!
    I have two old suitcases from appox. 1930-40's?
    They are hard cases but have leather trim. They both need alot of restoration, but I didn't know if there was interest in these. I know that you can use them as storage, but they need some seriuos help. Does anyone out there know if they deserve it or is it not worth the work to do it? Thanks.

    In good condition they sell very well because people stack them and use them as tables. If they're in really rough condition, they probably aren't worth much unless they have a quality maker's name somewhere on them. (Never throw away beat up Louis Vuitton!)
