HI Folk's
Here is an all original Martin Maier flat top. Some trunks need nothing at all.
Even had the original owners name tag on it,which was carefully remove and placed on the inside for safe keeping. Enjoy!!!
How lucky you are to find a MM in such incredible condition! It's simply awesome looking!!
Hey Ben, this is much like the one I was telling you about, wished I would have pursued it a little harder. Very nice.
Wow! that one is special, This is the first time that I am seeing M&M hardware used on a flat top trunk.We mostly see it on the rounded top trunks.I have yet to see this style of hardware along the bottom of one of his trunks.Especially The hardware protecting the middle of the slat corners that is one I have not seen before.Stunning
condition.Thanks for sharing.
Wow is right -- !! Did not even know he made flat tops! Just great to be able to see one -- and in such great condition. Thanks so much for giving us a look....
