Paul,
The suitcase is probably a Samsonite set (it may even carry their logo/copyright
somewhere on it). The online DB's are sorely lacking in Samsonite info. I
uploaded pictures of Sam set 502 here:

gallery after mod:

That gallery also has a picture of a case that looks similar to the Kraft set 4
suitcase. That one does not have silver buckles.

Those pictures are all of the info I have on that particular set. Also remember
that Samsonite was known for plastic luggage during the time they were making
Lego bricks. I'm sure there are a wide variety of mixes between that specialty
and their Lego license.
Let me know if I may be of any further assistance,
Clark

| Does anyone have an estimate on what these older baseplates have sold for, historically? A gentleman came to the BAYLUG meeting and had 2 that he's interested in selling. I see one on BrickLink (bay) for $18, and I'm wondering if that's low or high. (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
