   Hello,   
   I found a cream colored, marbled little boxy Samsonite cosmetics luggage   
   thing at a thrift store.  I spent the day scrubbing it clean and found 2   
   keys inside!  I found others that look like it on ebay, but without any idea   
   as to a date of birth.  It's not one of the plastic ones, but the older kind   
   with two vertical gold colored lock snaps, and a key lock in the middle.  I   
   bought it because I can't find any luggage I like at the mall, and this   
   piece looked like it been used since before the Big War, and was still   
   smiling.  Ya can't find many things that old, that are still smiling with   
   original teeth, if you know what I mean.   
   Any idea what years Samsonite made these?  I am so pleased with it.  It is   
   really nice now that I have all the crud off it.  It has the original inside   
   label, and a metal emblem on the outside with the original owner's initials   
   on it.  (Must be old because nobody puts initials on luggage any more)  If   
   you can't estimate a birthdate, can you direct me to someone who could?  I   
   wrote to Samsonite, but I don't expect a reply on such an insignificant   
   request.   
      
   Thanks,
