Description
 
I have recently began a search for the value of a Drucker Trunk I acquired a few years ago. With no luck on a precise estimate I began searching using the various postage markings on the bottom of the trunk. Two postage markings are very distinct reading: 
From: SB Hunt
         91 H***** St
         Newark NJ
To: Capt. S.B. Hunt 
      COS-MCS
      Quantico Virginia
 
Also:
From:  SB Hunt
       91 H***** St
       Newark NJ
To: Capt. S.B. Hunt JR.
      **** Ave 'U' 
       Lubbock, TX 
  GOVT. B/L M-178***
 
Upon doing further research with the information I have it seems my Drucker Trunk belonged to Capt. Sanford B. Hunt Sr. and Jr. 
If you have any information that would aide my search I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
