    Hey, this is another trunk I've recently gotten. It's in great shape as almost all the leather is still intact. The original lock is also in good shape but I'm having a problem finding a key. Does anyone know where I can find a Corbin 62? I've checked the site I usually order from with no luck. Any help or comments are appreciated, thanks.

      Fabulous trunk -- I have one with similar badges -- have you tried this site for keys? http://www.islandtrunkshop.com/hollow_barrell_trunk_keys.html

      Thanks trunkman. I have checked there, I've ordered from them before. It looks like the one I need is one of the few they don't have. I've looked at several of your posts, you have an amazing collection!

      Very nice trunk, Josh. Nice hardware and ornamentation. I'd recommend you use some good leather preservative on the leather and there are several brands available and mink oil works well too. I sometimes sell trunk keys and checked all of mine and have several keys for that style lock but not the 62! Sorry.

      Thanks for checking TrunkerMarvin, I've come across your website several times over the years. Great information and beautiful work. I'll look into the leather preservative, I've never used it.

      This trunk has corner pieces exactly like two trunks I have, one that I am in the middle of restoring. I have the full 18 for the one trunk but only 16 for the one I am restoring. Does anyone know where I can find them or am I better off just changing them all?
