People usually just WATCH history when instead, they could be a part of it by owning this WWII RELIC! Herkert & Meisel advertised itself as: Most Modern, Best Equipped Trunk and Leather Goods Factory in the World. During WW II and the Korean War, H&M made thousands of footlockers, ammunition cases, mess kits, and field desks for the U. Army under military contract. H&M continued to manufacture made-to-order trunks for the road companies of many of the Broadway shows well into the 1960’s and 1970’s. This period, however, saw a steep decline in the traditional business of H&M. Large steamer trunks and heavy fiber luggage were no longer being used by a public that now traveled mostly by air. And possibly in the world. Measures approx: 19 3/4 L x 10 1/2 W x 19 3/4 H. The item “Vintage Herkert & Meisel Trunk Co.
