In stock
Mid 1800s Hand Built Trunk Covered with Animal hide and hair, T1971. This box was likely made by a home crafter or the local saddler. Pine board construction with metal lid banding and animal hide covering. It measures 28 inches by 17 inches and the top is 16″ off the floor, which is just right for a coffee table. The animal hide may be horse hide or cow hide; the hair is short. Note the wrinkles in the hide on the top, but we like the rustic appeal of this box. T1971 is $250 flat, and 48-state USA shipping is included in the price. Free shipping, right? One more thing: the box is lined with old newspaper pages, and there’s a date of August 2, 1844 on the front page of the New Hampshire Statesman. Cool.

This company is outstanding! After ordering items to refinish a trunk they arrived promptly. I had questions about the project and emailed for help. Churchill responded promptly to several email questions and helped me complete a difficult project. I highly recommend this business!

Absolute nicest people working in this store. It is a bit difficult to find the physical location, but they do most of their sales online, so I have no issue with it. I highly recommend going here for any of your leather needs!

I ordered a 5lb lot of scraps in hopes of having workable stropping leather.
The finish of the leather was beautiful and workable. The pieces were generous and exciting to see.
Being a newbie to specs for leather a better idea how to gage thickness or weight would help. Maybe when better versed it will not be as difficult for me. Fast service nice people.

Great service, fast shipping, good quality items. Purchased the leather handle for a Knight of Columbus Fourth Degree sword carry case I built.
