Old Trunks, New Leather.  All from Maine.

July 17, 2000

I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist.  I checked the e-mail this morning
and

had the usual batch of about 70 e-mails or so, including this blatant

Category 2 example:

“HAVE A TRUNK WE JUST AQUIRED IT IS A FLAT TOP IT WAS MADE BY NATIONAL

TRUNK FACTORY WAS MADE  6/24/13  NO. 4561  KEY 107 ON
TOP  NAME LABLE IS

DOUGLAS BY NATIONAL FACTORY NEED WORK DONE . INSIDE STILL HAS THE TRAY

INSIDE. HOW DO I FIND OUT MUCH IT IS WORTH AND WHAT IT WOULD COST TO

REFINISH IT NEED NEW HANDLES.”

Luckily we have every trunk manufacturer’s original sales records* and
key

blanks* so we can be of some help* to this person.  I just wanted
you to

see what I meant in that last letter, I really wasn’t kidding around.

Much.

Thanks;
