My local Goodwill store is right around the corner from my office. I stopped by there today during my lunch hour to see if anything interesting came in over the weekend. I don't normally look at stuff like luggage but I remembered somebody here mentioned they are always on the lookout for Hartmann luggage so I thought I would peruse the luggage shelf. One piece caught my eye as it seemed to be very well made and in excellent condition. The tag said it was made by Lark. I had never heard of that maker so I didn't buy it. However, I went back to my office and did a little internet sleuthing. Apparently Lark was a high-end luggage maker which has been bought out by Samsonite. The piece I saw at Goodwill is part of a discontinued line which seems to be very popular among airline crews for its light weight and durability. If anybody would know good luggage they would, right? A little additional research revealed that the piece at Goodwill had a suggested retail price of over $500 with dealers asking $275 - $375 for it (when they have it in stock). I dashed back over to Goodwill and bought it... for $25! I don't think this piece has ever been used as the original paperwork is still inside.
The picture below is very similar to the piece I bought. The only difference is mine has a black leather handle.
I think I need to visit Goodwill more often.
