Steamer Trunk - Needleminder

First adorned with simple grey canvas, and later stamped with the iconic "LV" monogram, this 1858 Stackable Trunk revolutionized luxury luggage.  Their early trunks had several guises -- from plain grey canvas to a bold red and brown checkerboard -- all stretched over a wooden frame with a cowhide leather trim and a burgular-proof brass lock. Even Houdini declined the challenge to escape from this case!
