Hey all, in case you haven't already thought of this I will plant a
little seed in your head. Next time you find yourself at a garage sale
or a resale shop remember to take a glance at those old suitcases and
briefcases that they are selling for a buck. I found two different
suitcases today with beautiful latches (and keys!!!) that are the exact
same as the ones that came on DB bags and other hardbags of the day.
Also, the hinges on the bottom of the suitcases will work nice for the
front of your hardbags (no more lost tops). Grand total for me was
$2.50 for everything. So keep your eyes and imagination open and
hopefully you will get lucky.
Later,
