  1. Cool trunk Elliott! Thanks for sharing as always!!
  2. That is a beautiful lock!! Thanks for sharing!
  3. Thanks Ben & Brian. I used painters tape and taped over about 20 nail heads at a time, then I burnished the tape tight around the nail head using a blunt but small piece of metal I had laying around....
  4. Very nice MM sue — where did you guys find this one?
  5. Awesome trunk! Love the wheat tin & love that lock. I agree with Brian — too much black! I imagine you’re planning on fixing that situation!! Nice find!

  16. Bib5859 — you’re the only other person I know with corner latches. Any Roman numerals? Or other markings on your corners? I would like to see the latch mechanism in you latches, but you probably do...
  17. Incidentally— I feel like my latch (right) is a much more refined — or finished looking part than the latch in Brian’s.
  18. About my latch and corresponding spring photo. The spring steel in the photo is new. My original was similar in how It was bent, but when I tried to bend it a little to give it more spring — it snap...
  19. Thanks again Drill! I’ll post pics when I complete the restoration.
  20. Thanks for the comments Elliott! Since I first found CW I’ve admired your wheat tin MM. I honestly never thought I’d find one with that particular tin pattern. Let alone one with the front latches....
