The portmanteu would be great for a kilt tote while traveling! I may have to make one of those.

I had such a good responce on the pictures of the 18th century liquor chest I thought that some of the group here would like to see the rest of the 18th century traveling luggage I've made.

These are all typical of the type that would be found in 18th century Scotland



leather covered dome chest





there is a storage compartment inside the dome for small items



leather Portmanteu,was made to fit behind saddle






leather valise



there is a dust cover under the lid



it holds quite a bit if gear
