1860 ANTIQUE STAGECOACH TRUNK JENNY LIND CAMEL BACK TOP STEAMER FLAT BOTTOM - $275 - (Portsmouth, OH)
WELCOME, THIS LISTING IS FOR AN 1860s ERA JENNY LIND TYPE STAGECOACH TRUNK. WE HAVE RESTORED TRUNKS FOR YEARS, BUT HAVE WAY TO MANY AND ITS TIME TO THIN DOWN. THIS TRUNK WILL NEED A FULL RESTORATION. BUT OTHERS LIKE THEM AGED JUST THE WAY THEY ARE THE CHOICE IS YOURS. IT WILL NEED NEW LEATHER HANDLES, LOCK IS MISSING (A BRASS PLATE WILL DO HERE), A COUPLE OF BRASS STUDS MISSING IN THE TOP THAT FASTEN TO THE LID, YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. IT WAS LEATHER COVERED AT ONE TIME, OF COURSE ITS PEELED AWAY, SOME PEOPLE CHOOSE TO STRIP AWAY OLD COVERINGS AND STAIN THEM, SOME CHOOSE TO RECOVER. THE LID OF THE TRUNK IS MADE OF A HARD MATERIAL, ITS THE FIRST ONE OF THIS KIND OF MATERIAL WE HAVE EVER OWNED AND NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. THE REST OF THE TRUNK BESIDES THE LID IS WOOD AND ITS ALL SOLID. THE INSIDE CLOTH NEEDS REPLACED OR WALLPAPER. IN THE PHOTOS ONCE THE LID IS LIFTED, THERE IS A STORAGE DRAWER THAT COMES OUT AND OPENS UP. WHEN THE STORAGE DRAWER IS PUT BACK IN THE LID, YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A LITTLE ENVELOPE TYPE STORAGE AREA ON THE OUTSIDE.. IN THE STORAGE AREA OF THE TRUNK, THERE IS A TRAY THAT LIFTS UP THEN OF COURSE THE STORAGE AREA UNDER THE TRAY. THE WOMAN WE BOUGHT THIS FROM SAID IT BELONGED TO THE FOUNDING FAMILY OF ASHLAND, KENTUCKY AND HAD BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS. THIS IS A SHAPED TRUNK YOU RARELY SEE AS MOST ARE FLAT TOP TRUNKS OR ROUNDED ON TOP WHICH IS CALLED A CAMEL BACK. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS TRUNK FROM THE SIDE, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD. THIS TRUNK WILL SHIP VIA THE POST OFFICE BY THEIR CHEAPEST METHOD, PARCEL GROUND SERVICE. THE SHIPPING PRICE INCLUDES INSURANCE AND TRACKING. IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN UPS OR FED EX ACCOUNT AND CAN GET A BETTER RATE LET ME KNOW, I WILL CHANGE THE SHIPPING TO PICK UP ONLY AND YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN CARRIER PICK THE TRUNK UP AND PAY THEM YOURSELF. THE TRUNK NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION, SO CHECK THE PICTURES OUT GOOD AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY, SOLD AS IS. THANK YOU
