    Here is my Vintage Automobile Trunk that is made out of metal & wood.
    The only part that is not metal is the bottom (all wood). It still has the original leather handles. The trunk opens from the top and the front for
    easy loading. I'm not sure of the age, but think around 30's-40's.
    These were the trunks that were carried on the rear of the cars back in the days. Has the original paint and still in very nice condition. It had the name of the company (decal), but is scratched to point I cannot read it. Measures L36" x W16" x H20"
    Trunkman, maybe you know something about this??

      Lucky, lucky you. Where did you find such a gem? Bet that didn't come at a yard-sale price.

      blunderbuss2,
      I got this about 15+ years ago at a flea market (first thing in the morning).
      If I remember correctly I paid around 125.00 for it, I think I got a good deal.

      trunkman,
      Thank you very kindly for the LOVE. I am happy that you can appreciate this as I did when I found it. I use to store blankets.

      Very nice!!! I have a similar trunk. Mine doesn't fold out at the front and is surface rusted all over. Excellent find.
