Can't tell you much without an image, old trunks sell anywhere from $50.00- $500.00, but most made at the turn of the 19th Century sell for about $150.00 " As Is"
Could you help me out with some of my postings. I recently went to a yard sale and bought a couple of items. Curious about their history and current value. I would appreciate your help! Thanks!
I generally pop in here daily and answer a few posts, if you want to post your items here I can have a look at them. I don't promise I can help everyone, it would take far more time than I can spare. Just post your message with Attention Lovejoy and I'll keep an eye out for it. ;~)
Hi Lovejoy, thank you for your offer of help. I cannot bet my pictures to upload. I get as far as the BROWSE button and it is as if the button is dead. I click on it and nothing happens.
A certain amount of the value of a trunk comes from condition. Having original handles is great (replacements are available but tricky to get on). Having original lining is nice (if not too dirty) with a great graphic on the inside lid. Also there is a tray that they came with. It's more valuable if it has the original tray, also with the lining. Sometimes folks paint these wild colors and that's difficult to remove so original black and wood is the best finish. Flat trunks make great coffee tables so folks sometimes attach a higher value to those. I like the dome ones myself. Your price seems very fair.
