    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.

      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.
