Flat Steel Lid Stays for Trunks Available in THREE Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large

Flat steel lid stays look just like many late 1800s/early 1900s lid stays, and are available in THREE sizes. Made of plain steel, riveted and punched to duplicate an original style of lid stay.

LARGE STAY2: These are the big fellas – about 11 inches long overall and just about 10 inches between the nail holes. This is the one to use if the lid of your trunk is quite heavy, or for any large size trunk. Requires two nails to attach to your trunk.  One lid stay per trunk; don’t try to put one on each side.  One per trunk.  $20 each, USA shipping included

MEDIUM STAY2: These are about 8-1/2 inches long overall and just about 7-1/2 inches between the nail holes.  Requires two nails to attach to your trunk.  One lid stay per trunk; don’t try to put one on each side.  One per trunk.  $16 each, USA shipping included

SMALL STAY2:  For smaller trunks, these are about 7 inches long overall when fully extended, and 6 inches between nail holes.  Requires two nails to attach to your trunk.  One lid stay per trunk; don’t try to put one on each side.  One per trunk.  $12 each, USA shipping included

When you look at these you can see that each stay2 is made up of two flat steel pieces, and one of those is longer than the other.  The longer steel piece goes DOWN in the trunk.  Got it?
