That suitcase is lovely, though. It's funny how perceptions change with age and experience.
It was quite nice, the problem was that it wasn't really made for comfortable travel, and the poor old guy seemed to struggle with it. It didn't have wheels.
Ah yes, wheels was the best thing they did for suitcases. Except the early ones when they just added them onto the narrow edges of original style cases. They just tipped over too easily.
