I found this at another antique show for $40 a couple of years ago. Last day of the show and the vendor didn't want to pack it back up, so he knocked the price down from $85. It still has it's nearly complete interior. I haven't done anything to it yet. May just give it a good cleaning and put a couple of coats of tung oil on it. This one had part of a Chicago newspaper in it from 1906. Very interesting reading. Anyway, I thought the trunk was a nice find to add to my collection.
Cool find! I'm sure you will clean it up just right judging from all of your other posts. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,as well as all of the Trunk enthusiasts on this site.
Thanks Drill! And a Happy Turkey Day to you and yours!!!
Great trunk -- not sure why intact interiors are so hard to come by -- but they are -- beautiful find...
Thanks Trunkman!! The ones with complete interiors are definitely a RARE find indeed. Though this interior is quite worn, it's still quite beautiful. A friend of my wife has her eye on this one. So, I may not get to keep this one for long. We'll see.
Thanks for the loves everybody!!
