SPECIFIC NOTES AND DETAILS (The following is not to scare you off but to best describe any flaws and eliminate surprises) PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

1.) This trunk has some dents, modest on the front, sides and top, with a more serious denting on the back. In some cases a picture may show a "wave" in the tin cover which is not an actual dent. The rear trunk denting actually shows up more vividly in the photo than in room light. Examine the pictures according and don't be afraid to ask questions via email. We're here to help you.

2.) The right hasp/latch lever is slightly loose but does work fine and are the originals.

3.) The original lock is not in working order and has no key.

We do not use varnish, polyurethane or similar finishes as these were not used during the period when these trunks were manufactured. We only paint metal when the finish has gone bad with time, doesn't polish up naturally through cleaning or was painted originally. We use an anti-rust, modest hammered-finish paint where necessary on metal and first rate wood paint in cases where wood needs a paint application such as on a trunk bottom.

We want you to enjoy your trunk and attempt to keep in as original as possible without adding feature that did not exist when the trunk was manufactured.
