Did Your Mother Have This?

[RedAngie]

A small suitcase for cosmetics, lotions, etc. Complete with a mirror and frilly feminine fabric frame.



I think it was called a Train Case. My mother had one in dark gray for decades, part of a set of about 5 matching pieces of luggage.

I’m not sure what happened to it. I loved to play “pretend travel” with it when I was about 7 years old.

I did too!

Yes my mom had one. I kept it after she passed away many years ago.

Love this. My grandmother had a red Samsonite case like that. I inherited it when I was a little girl and used it. Don't have it anymore.

Edit: Actually, I inherited her entire red Samsonite clamshell luggage set. So cool. I miss good heavy luggage like that.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Yes! I can't remember the color, though.

My mom had a white Samsonite train case and matching hardside suitcase from the late 50’s/early 60’s. I remember when we were kids, she used the train case to pack everyone’s toiletries. It wasn’t that fancy though. There were no ruffles, just a mirror in the lid. I am not sure what happened to it. I don’t know if she got rid of it when we moved to Florida, or afterwards . . . I know I didn’t see it anymore after the move, although the matching suitcase survived the move (and might still be in the basement-I would have to check).

[kymom99]

Yes! I can't remember the color, though.

Mine was mustard yellow

 

[Drewsdad]

Yes she did..

 

[disneychrista]

Yes, she did. I actually found myself wishing I had one. I bought a small travel case for my “pharmacy” and use an “overnight” bag for it and the toiletries, etc.

Mom had one in the harvest gold color, and gave it to me. I used it for sleepovers when I was a kid, and later for craft supplies.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

My grandma had one and I played with it when I was young. I think hers was a medium blue shade.
