Friday's Find: Vintage Luggage

Hello! Oh. My. Thrifty-Goodness! Looky what I found last weekend at a neighborhood yard sale just sitting on a driveway waiting for me! I should mention that this neighborhood sale was getting some serious traffic. Cars were lined up and down the street. As I got out of my car I spotted these beauties and noticed several people walking up beside me. I hustled on over and bent down to look at the price--then I did a double take--Samsonite and $4!! I honestly thought I might have missed seeing the zero next to that four! I rushed over to the sweet elderly couple hosting the sale. I told them that I wanted the luggage and the gentleman told me that it belonged to the family that raised him. Aww....I just love that! Great story and best luggage find ever!
