More Info →- Description
-
This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 11 december 1956: "Extensive travel test: In eight months this suitcase has travelled over 80,00 miles and has visited more than a dozen countries." In collaboration, a local luggage manufacturer and Tasman Empire Airways Ltd (T.E.A.L.) tested the suitcase for durabillity and strength and constructive criticism suggested a longer case would work better with the current fashion of draped style of suit jacket.
