You guys are right on the mark!
The Velveeta Kraft Lego set #4 had 321 bricks and shows (in the promotional
brochure) to be made of light blue plastic with a matching light blue handle.
Upon closer inspection of the small picture, it looks like the suitcase has
silver clasps or buckles. The set was also sold individually (without Lego
contents) and known simply as "CARRYING CASE Item No. 7". This (standalone)
suitcase has no Lego markings, and I guess technically is not considered a LEGO
item.
