This Croatian tablecloth measures 5 feet by 7 feet. It's made of a linen material, but I'm not sure of the exact material or its origin. We believe it's from the island of Krk (pronounced Kirk), which is the island where my family is from.
I bought this trunk at the Salvation Army for 50.00. The outside is pretty weathered. The inside is in good shape with all of the original trays and straps. It looks like it ha been storing Christmas decorations in a barn. I bought it because my last name is Crouch. I'm wondering if I should take the canvas panels off and restore the wood underneath or leave as is. Would the value go up of down?
My Uncle found this while cleaning out his garage. The case needs to be fixed and typewriter needs to be cleaned haven't done anything to it so as not to damage it. Still works! All it needs is a new ribbon.
