Relics

Was in a local thrift shop last week - Overpriced Thrift, Rio Grande, NJ - when I found these:

This is the very same luggage my parents had when I was a kid.

I'm guessing they bought it around the time they were married.  

At some point, they stopped using these, and went for less heavy options like what's out today.

However, I think they were more attractive than that plastic-ey stuff people use now.
