Hi, I am new so I hope this picture comes through. Can anyone tell me anything about my Gucci train case? It is kind of beat up but I could restore. I have the mirror and keys too. Any idea how collectible or valuable it is? I bought it about 6 years ago. I think I paid about $250. I looked online but wasn't able to find anything like this.THANK YOU!

Congrats on your case, the price you paid seems reasonable to me.
I can't seem to make your thumb nail enlarge. We need to se the normal point of refs to date ESP on the inside ;)

Thanks very much. here is the inside. I have used this a TON since I got it and it is very beat up. I haven't done anything to restore it or even clean it up. It cannot be restored to like new, but it could be a lot nicer than this. The mirror is tucked in the pocket on the lid. I was thinking of restoring this to either keep or sell and buy a new one. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I know I've posted this before, but here are some more detailed photos. Can anyone tell me an approximate time period? It has a serial number, I believe it's 10 digits long.

Also, should the back zipper have the gold zipper pull charm?

I recently took out a vintage Gucci bag of mine from several years ago. I was thinking of having it "restored" at my local Gucci store, but I don't know if there is any hope. Can i get your opinion as to weather or not you think they would do something to it? Thanks. It's from the Gucci Accessory Collection. I know the condition of it is pretty terrible, I wish i had taken better care of it back in the days. Also, can someone help me with the meaning of the code on the last picture? Thanks a lot.

Just IMO but from the countless things restored/repaired by Gucci I would say the leather is repairable but not the coated canvas. Whether or not the money needed to be laid-out for repairs to the leather will make it worthwhile is another matter.

What I like about that bag is that it has been so well loved and used.
