Willard Suitcases / John R / Talks

When I talk about the project I am often asked if I have a favorite suitcase. My answer is always the same; from the start, I have seen the collection as a whole and no case stands out to me. But I do have some favorite photographs from the project, and this is one of them.

The dark glasses are pretty cool.

This was the first time I had ever seen an actual Shinola tin.

We saw several of these Yardley Talc containers.

I have uploaded the rest of the photos from John’s case at the suitcases site. Check it out!
There are two upcoming events near to me where I will be talking about the suitcases. I’ll have copies of the second Kickstarter reward book for sale at the Hadley, MA Barnes & Noble this Saturday the 18th. I’ll be there from 2.00 – 5.00 PM. Come by and say hi. And on Monday I will be giving a talk at the Amherst Woman’s Club. I expect to start at 1.00 PM.
Thanks for following!

Jace, The dark glasses look like welding glasses to me. >
I agree, that’s what I thought when I saw them.
Each one breaks my heart. The are so sad.
