with signs of wear. Very rarely offered in pairs, these two large overseas suitcases in the world's largest department store also offer an interesting story: stickers refer to a trip from Le Havre to New York on the S.S.FRANCE, the most luxurious liner of its time. Before the First World War, FRANCE only operated this route from 1912 to 1914. The suitcases each have a sticker “Genuine National Vulkanized Trunk Fiber” and an embossed sign “Macy's New York”.
