Amerikakoffert - the suitcase from America

For the 900 000 Norwegians emigrating from Norway, many would never see Norway again.
Most of them kept in contact by correspondence (Amerikabrev = Letters from America)
Some came for visits, bringing with them their suitcases - their Amerikakoffert.
Not only was the design of the suitcase iself special, but the content! The visiting relatives from America knew just what to bring to impress their relatives in Norway. After all they had lived in Norway not so long ago.

So the expression Amerikakoffert can still evoke associations, at least for somebody in my generation and those older.
When I was a child, one of my neighbours received Amerikapakke (Parcel from America) from some relative "over there". "An uncle in America" was a good thing to have.
