Aviatrix Wheary Vintage Union Pacific Railorad Suitcase
This Wheary Aviatrix suitcase is from the early 1930's, and it was designed specifically for air travel just as it was becoming popular. This particular suitcase has three small stickers with the Union Pacific Railorad shield logo, so it was most likley used for rail travel. It might have possibly been from an employee of the U.P. The exterior has a pebbled black paper surface and leather clad handle. The metal latches are unusual in that they swing up. They are marked with shield emblems. The interior has a moirre pattern silken lining with metal folding rack and elastic pouches. The overall dimensions are 18 x 18 x 9 inches. The condition is very good for its age, showing normal light surface wear, with a clean interior. This is a great suitcase for any collector of world travel or railroad items.
