Quadrangular hat box in vulcanized fiber stamped “la mondiale”

Quadrangular hat box in vulcanized fiber stamped “la mondiale” marked under the lid: la mondiale vulcanized fiber warranty registered model patented sgdg vulcanized fiber was an extremely robust material intended to withstand the worst handling and the hazards of multiple handling in ports, stations, trains, hotels...vulcanized fiber luggage looked like leather luggage but was lighter and stronger. They reached their peak between the two wars. As vacations and travel became more popular, the accessories manufactured by la mondiale were accessible to as many people as possible. This box has not suffered any major damage and presents rather well. Its particularity is that the interior is arranged in such a way that 4 hats, or even 5, could be stacked without risk. The 1st was held under the lid by the 4 yellow ribbons tied diagonally. The 2nd went to the bottom held by 6 ribbons, preventing it from circulating. And on top, another 2 floors made up of these knotted ribbons. Small arrows engraved on each clasp indicate how to open. Afterwards it's a matter of habit. It may seem a little difficult or stiff but it's reliable and it works. There is no key. We may deplore a strong smell of perfume inside but the fabric printed with stylized sunflowers is in nice condition. Various marks of use but nothing important. Dim: 36 cm X 36 cm X 27.5 cm. Weight: 1, 990 kg note: the default form does not know vulcanized fiber. So I have to click on fiberglass.
