Those were tough times.The last picture shows my grandfather and his son, my Uncle Mike, the eldest at that time..They had 10 children..No one finished school, my father had an 8...th grade education..This beautiful trunk has a history and story to tell..Are you the one to treasure the past...?I am 70 and moving to AZ. I can’t take all my beautiful remembrances. This trunk needs a lot of TLC.. The story goes. MY Aunt Kate put contact paper inside.Yecch!!The trunk is wood and metal..It is already gorgeous to me..But, is being sold “As Is.” It needs a locksmith to repair the non functional lock...Or someone good with Bobby pins!!Thanks to my two year old son for locking .If it does not sell, I will ship it to AZ.Any questions gladly answered..The measurements are as follows: 24 length 14 width height 16..This trunk weighs 22lb boxed...Ask for a shipping quote..I reduced the price but will not pay shipping..
