My mom had a set like that for the longest time, in green I think.. I remember especially the Train Case. But hers was older -- I think she got them when she married in 1950.

I remember my mom had the set in blue. She had the train case up until I was at least in my teens, in the early 80s. Pretty sure they had been her parents'.

It's called a train case, eh? We had a grey one in our family, formerly Grandmama's of course, and it was useful for everything. It'd be perfect to have now for those overhead airline bins.

Oh, and YES.

My parents had the blue set. :)

Yup, I distinctly remember the train case; with attendant worn-out elastic and slightly-musty smell...

Tan for men, blue for ladies, and gray for...well, shades of gray for the sexually ambiguous, I guess.

yes. my grandmother had the blue set, including the train case.

I love to travel with my old suitcases. Stuff doesn't get crushed and smooshed as much, but they do add some weight and it's a good idea to use a strap because they do have the annoying habit of popping open.
