AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This selected item is a Brexton vintage picnic case from the mid-20th century (the 1950s or 1960s). This type of case was commonly used at the time for car holidays and day trips.

Features of this suitcase:

Construction: A hard case with a plastic exterior in a checkered pattern and a contrasting green interior.

Built-in straps: The lid is equipped with leather or plastic straps to securely hold crockery (such as the shown plates) and cutlery (spoons and knives) in place during travel.

Complete set: This kind of suitcase belonged with the loose items on the table, such as the matching insulated thermos bottle, the plastic drinking cups and the metal lunch tins. The knives and forks have probably been replaced by similar ones.

Brexton was for decades the leading British manufacturer of luxury picnic cases. The brand reached its absolute heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, when car ownership became popular and day trips to the countryside were a real trend.

Carefully packed – sent by registered mail with tracking.

Pickup is also possible in Goedereede.
