Come on in and find a trunk you like!Shown below are a few differenttypes of trunks and boxes, just to give you an idea of what passes throughthe shop.

Just your standard woodentrunks, ca. 1850 to 1880. Some similar styles were made like thisuntil as recently as 1940. Utilitarian, handsome, what more do youwant? Wicked cheap, too. Originally these were covered withgreen or black canvas. Not very unusual, so don't expect to pay anarm and a leg for this style. These turn out to be beautiful andare quite useful for storage.

Here's what we recommendto finish the inside. Remove the old wallpaper and sand/stain thewood, like the trunks shown above. If you have bugs in your area,plain wood is better than fabric or wallpaper (the little bugs will movein between the trunk and the fabric/paper). We fix up and sell alot of trunks like this, redone inside and out, as shown here. USAShipping is included in all of our prices.Check the FORSALE section for info. While you're in the shop be sure tothink of your loved ones and how much they'd love to get a trunk from ourshop. Or, think about our loved ones and how much they'd like a lobsterdinner paid for by you...

Maybe you'd prefer an oldpressed-tin covered trunk. Not much wood showing, so this type sellsa little more slowly than some, even though they're quite striking oncethey've been redone. Some were painted, like the one above, otherswere glazed. Often the glaze didn't last very long. Sort oflike the shop owner's hair.

Leather-covered trunkswere all the rage in the early 1800s. Well-known trunk makers fromthat time include Robert Burr of Boston (maker of the saddle trunk shownon the left), the Saratoga-style trunk makers (center photo), and the stretched-hideand brass tack style (on the right) made by several companies all aroundthe US. You may find one of these with the leather in rough shape,or the leather may be gone altogether. You can still have a greattrunk for display by finishing the wood beneath, and polishing up all ofthose little brass tacks. If the leather is in fair to good conditionit can be oiled and saved, probably for another 200 years or so. Then again, if your kids are like ours, you might get another four to sixmonths out of it, but it'll be a fun time.Old Toolboxes

Toolboxes are lotsof fun. You'll never see two of these alike. Each was typicallyhand-crafted by the owner, and it was sized to meet that person's uniquetool needs. Look for wide pine boards, special compartments to holdcertain tools, and maybe some dents from shins banging into it. Husbandslove these old toolboxes, but none of them can really explain why. I've got a few of them that I've kept for myself, and I couldn't tell youwhy I hang on to them, or what, if anything, I'll ever put into them. I just like em. You really should be in Maine, so if you're wiseenough to visit, you might want to check the MaineOffice of Tourism's site and also the State-o-Maine'spages for touristing goodies.Hope to see you upcountry!Churchill Barton, ProprietorSiteMap
