<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 792816, member: 738"]Hi kapidr, are you anywhere in the Pacific NW? Some one may be interested in it as a local artifact. Public places like McMenamins <a href="https://www.mcmenamins.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mcmenamins.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mcmenamins.com/</a> often purchase items of local interest to use in decorating their establishments. In a general sense, earlier, hump-backed wooden trunks used to be worth more, although they are quite a lot of trouble to restore. With the market now, probably not so much. The decorating emphasis here now is shabby chic industrial, so the more rust and metal the better. If you want to sell it, try a local antique co-op, a restaurant or a theater for props. I'd say $50 for it would be a good day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
