VTG I Lifton I Deep Buff Split Cowhide Leather Zipper Portfolio Underarm Case

This portfolio, or underarm case, by Lifton dates anywhere from the late-1940s to early-1970s. I believe the leather shade is "cherry." It has 2 interior pouches/pockets of equal proportion. All marks are visible, including what appears to be ink, however, its constitution is great/strong/solid. Really a well-made piece and I actually think the markings give it a more authentic mid-20th century appearance/charm. Please review all photos carefully for condition as it has 2 problems concerning the zipper. It's missing its pull, but it still zips/unzips very easily/agilely & you could put any substitute of your choosing in there. Also, 1 end of the zipper's teeth has come loose. It's a very small section that's easily hidden from view, and not zipping this very small part will not affect the safeguard of what's inside.

Much can be found about Lifton's history w/a simple Google search. They were very well-know for their musical instrument cases in particular.
