This is only the third touring car trunk we've found in years and it's a really nice one too. Trunks, like nearly everything else, had to adapt to the coming of the automobile and here's one of the best examples. This beautiful trunk was probably meant for the back of a large touring car like a Packard. Many companies, including Packard themselves made these for all different models of cars. Eventually car manufacturers made the trunk an integral part of the car and these wonderful bits of history started to disappear so today they're more difficult to find than the automobiles. Note the heavy nickel-plated hardware - the turnbuckles w/locks, the alignment dowel. (Also, please note that some of the colors that appear in the close-ups of the hardware are reflections only.) The turnbuckles are stamped with "MI Auto Lock" and "Milwaukee Stamping Company, Mil, Wisconsin". This trunk is all original, we have replaced nothing, only cleaned and preserved it. The inside of the trunk is lined with the original linen material that is in excellent condition. We found this one near Charlottesville, VA. It dates back to the 1930s. By the way, you don't necessarily need a '30s car to enjoy a trunk like this; one car trunk we sold ended up on the back of a PT Cruiser and the owner was ecstatic. If you like it as well as we do then call us now, toll-free on 1-877-653-8786 or send us an email to TreasuredChests@oldtrunks.com before it gets snatched up.
