Before
A family heirloom originally from Poland shipped to me from Buffalo
New York.
 |
After
Circa 1888 Yes, it's the same trunk  |
| From Port Elgin Ontario They're all so different.  |
Circa 1895 Beauty!  |
|
From Rochester New York Covered with leather, my fave. Because... beneath the leather is usually a better than average nice pine structure.  |
Circa 1880 New leather lid lifter and spring in the right latch replaced as well as new leather handles.  |
From Ottawa Ontario My home town at the the time. I can't imagine what it would cost to build a trunk like this today. In 1895 this trunk retailed for about $4.95  |
Circa 1895 You could never achieve this satin finish unless you spray paint as I do. This is not a varnich finish.  |
From Ottawa This is one big trunk, needing a new bottom slat  |
Circa 1895 You really never know what the finished product will look like. And that's why I love old trunks. Each one a new adventure.  |
Believe it or not- this 50's military foot locker came to me all the way from Stockton California to be restored. The memories.  |
50's US Military Foot Locker I'd never see a solid brass lock like this one before, original key and it worked. Paint job...Perfect match!  |
From Ottawa I know nothing about old coins, imagine my excitement when I found several large, pre 1900 pennies under the slats on the lid. Turns out the most valuable was worth a quater. Not so for the owners though, this was grandma's trunk.  |
Circa early 1900 I managed to find a key for the lock and a little TLC got it working again. It's the kind of runk you'd find at the side of the road on garbage day, but not when it's from your favorite grandma.  |
From Ottawa Another beast of a trunk. I feel for those who had to lift one of these when full. The days when men were men as they say.  |
Circa 1895 It's impossible to duplicate the printed colours on these embossed metal trunks but I've come up with a good alternative. Check out the image below.   |
