Hello everyone!!
We attended an antique show yesterday and today and picked up a few items. I saw this and just couldn't leave without it. It's a 1920's-1930's Ford Model A/T running board picnic trunk. It's patent leather covered and, other than missing the original leather handles, it's still in relatively good condition for its’ age. It still retains 6 plates, 5 cups, 7 forks and 6 butter knives. The plates and cups are porcelain enameled tin. This would have strapped to one of the running boards of a Ford Model A or Model T car. It measures 26 1/2" long, 9 3/4" tall and 10" deep.
Thanks for stopping in for a look!!

That's awesome Scott
Great find! Awesome shape for its age. Can't imagine driving down those old rough roads with plates strapped to the fender..
Hi Drill!
Thanks very much friend!!
Dave,
Thanks!! I was thinking the very same thing. I know those old Model A and Model T cars couldn’t possibly have ridden very smooth and the roads were in nowhere near the condition as our roads are today.
Fabulous antique picnic trunk, looks very sturdy & imagine all the fun using it back then!

Eileen,
Thanks!! I hadn't seen one of these in such wonderful condition for a long time. So, I wasn't going to let this one slip past me. The Antique Show is a 2-day event. We spent hours and hours going thru everything there. I don't believe we missed a single thing there.
