Simulated Canvas Embossed Pattern
This pattern is a bit of an
enigma. The majority of flat top trunks were covered in canvas but some were
covered in tin that had a simulated canvas pattern stamped into it. Surely
canvas was cheaper so maybe the thinking was that the tin would last better than
canvas. This has not usually been the case though since the real canvas was
coated with several layer of shellac and it lasted very well. The tin however
tended (no pun intended) to rust so most flat tops with real canvas have stood
the tests of time better than the tin covered ones.
