McBrine 34" Vulcanize Fiber Flat Top Trunk

Picked this up yesterday as it was only minutes from the Clinton wall trunk purchase. I have had my eye on it for sometime, but to far to justify purchasing it. From the single ad photo I assumed it to be a Langmuir trunk because of the nail work through out the surface with the metal tag being obscured by the lock in the down position. After seeing Brian (Greendog) what can be done to such a vulcanized trunk like you did to your small one, it has some potential for sure to be something beautiful once again. I was surprised to find the tray to be present with the paper McBrine label and found that quite interesting. It measures 34" L x 21" D x 22" Tall. The staining/wear lines makes any very slight rippling look way worse than it actually is. It comes with an excellent solid Brass Corbin lock. It is missing one original wheel but I have a replacement for that. The nail are steel and not the brass that I was hoping for. Judging by the latches it's an earlier 20th century period with the steel being perhaps simple a cost cutting factor. None the less for 30.00 the purchase can be easily justified for the lock alone.
