Dear All - hope someone can help with this!
At Milestones (Hampshire's living history museum in Basingstoke) there are two school activities where pupils match luggage via it's contents to a character outline. One activity is 1930s based, the other Victorian. The volume of schools means the luggage is well-used and it's becoming harder and harder to source period luggage of a suitable condition to use. Even very good condition luggage (i.e. still usable for a holiday!) quickly deteriorates.
I'm looking to use wooden boxes instead. Does anyone have any suppliers they would recommend?
Thanks
