A golden leather trimmed suitcase with a brown leather handle. Two gold key locks flank the handle with spring loaded clasps. The corners have worn brass colored edges that protect the corners. On either side of the suitcase are arched bands of wood covered with brown leather for protection. The sides are also banded with two green bands on either side of an orange one. On one side of the suitcase are four ball feet. Inside, the rayon-like fabric is brown and shiny. There are four straps with buckles saying "Anchor Brand". There is a zipper pouch on the left with a brass pull and there are elastic pouches on the rear and right. Attached to the top of the inside of the case is a large elastic pouch held in place by a leather strap with Bakelite snaps. The outside canvas has been sized for weather proofing.
