FABULOUS VINTAGE VALISE. 

This cool conversation piece is a 19th Century early style of round travelers valise. The wooden frame is covered in hair-on hide (though the hair is worn mostly bare now) and trimmed in contrasting leather and brass tacks. It’s finished with metal fittings and newsprint lining, as was custom of the era.
