This is a very unique trunk. This is the first one I have
come across that has the corner and center metals Zinc plated. Most trunks have
a Black color metal on the corners, bottom, etc.. This Black coating is called
japanned, and is achieved by coating the metal with a linseed oil mixture and
then baking the part. The slat clamps and all other pieces are Zinc plated as
well. In addition, this trunk has extra wide, grooved slats. New, 3 layer,
stitched lid lifter and handles replace the damaged/missing ones. The interior
has been sanded smooth and coated, to accept your fine linins and valuables. Of
course the trunk has working latches, and lock with key. Trunk measures
30" long, 18" wide, and 19" high. A great looking, rare trunk
that makes an excellent addition to any room or the perfect gift to a loved
one.
Thank you,
Jim
