    Hi,
    This trunk is sturdy , but has been in horrible rusty condition. It has an inner shelf that I don't show in the pictures. The Rollers on the Bottom Work Great. Every time I pass by , I sand little , scrap a little, scrub a little. Slowly it is coming to life. I still have several days
    ( years!) worth of work to do. I want to line the inner part with "art paper" . I am seeing that for sale , but iy sometimes is sold "in corner pieces" or in "strips". I can't figure why it is sold this way. Does anyone here know that answer please?
    The main lock on the front says: "EAGLE LOCK CO. TERRYVILLE CT "

      PS: When You get the rust off, and wood sanded, consider spraying with Clear Lacquer, "Matte, or Gloss", to Protect Your Work.
