I looked this up as it is a limited company and the inception date was given as 1962, however my google search turned up an antique auction result for a leather suitcase with the same Perthshire Crafts Ltd brand stating it was pre-WW2. Which do you think is wrong? can they have been a ltd brand before it was recorded? It is now dissolved but I don't know when.

In any case I was wondering if there are any characteristics that would indicate what period this is from, I'm seeing alot of similar designs in the 60s but I realise this kind of style spanned a few decades. It is a very heavyweight thick leather, the suede (or faux) lining and metal zip matching in durability. I know from seeing another picture that it would have had a ball chain tag pull on the zip.
