TRUNK SHOP
1880s Standard Traveling Trunk

with Straps




This is a standard traveling trunk that we believe was made int he 1880s.  Originally covered in canvas, but that got a little ratty over the last 120 years
so we cleaned things up, sanded, sealed, finished, etc to get the trunk looking the way you see here.
This trunk measures 33 inches long by 20 inches wide, and it stands 22-1/2 inches tall.
Corner bumpers are what was known as "roller corners" - these were supposed to protect this trunk when someone else's trunk bumped into it.
The new leather handles have our brand on them - just some shameless advertising.
You can see in the photos that there are old nail holes around the handles - this trunk was repaired once or twice during its active life.
It's still in great shape though.
Finished with tung oil and Golden Oak stain, so please just dust it off now and then.
No key for the lock - the mechanism is bound up.
Price includes UPS shipping to any location in the 48 contiguous United States

*Shipping and Costs

Shipping costs within the contiguous USA are included in the trunk prices shown on the Brettuns Village web site, unless stated otherwise.  We do our best to play it safe when we ship a trunk to you.  We pack them in cardboard and ship via UPS, usually.  Need your new trunk in two days, or overnight?  No problem, we can ship it express for just a few dollars more.

 
Live outside of the contiguous USA?  When it comes to shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or other international locations we do not charge for packing the trunk, and we do not mark up the shipping charge.  We ask only that you pay the actual shipping charge.   Send an e-mail to buy a trunk or ask any questions you have about the trunks shown.  No question is too nit picky.  We want to make sure you get just the trunk you want!
