Vintage 80’s Python Snakeskin Key Locking Vertical Briefcase with Key Locking Front Document holder. (Rare)
This case was never used. It was damaged while in store inventory with a 2 inch scratch on the front and never sold as new boutique high end case. The MSRP in the 80’s would have been $900 to $1500 depending on the venue it was sold in.
Since there is no brand name it was imported direct from the manufacturer. This case bears a striking similarity to some vertical briefcases made for GUCCI in same period.
The case is of top quality to aged so well. In caring more this product do not use regular leather products but rather products made for exotics skins. Always go with the direction of the scales.
I purchased this some time ago in a secondary market at a price consistent with the minor scratch mentioned. I never used this case but preferred my indestructible zero Halliburton for travel.
Im coming up on 77 and Im downsizing some of the cool items I’ve acquired over the years. I would like pass this on to someone that would appreciate its workmanship and artistic value.
I documented the scratch before and after a retouch using a color touch up tool. The scratch is less visible, hardly noticeable to the Casal observer. Were the case in perfect condition I would offer it at $1350.
Given the minor flaw which is not structural, I’m offering it a $335.
In looking at the pix the darker shots are without flash the the lighter shots with the flash. In some cases the pictures are presented side by side. The flash is closer to what the case would look like in bright light or sunlight and the darker pictures how the case looks in low light conditions. Hope that’s helpful.
DIM: 12 X 16 X 3\" DOCUMENT HOLDER IN FRONT ADDS SLIGHTLY TO THE 3\" OF THE CASE.
