<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ActualProof, post: 3819068, member: 19340&quot;]Robert, I understand that you’re showing the protected corners of a particular trunk, but even a beginner hobbyist/enthusiast like myself can absolutely guarantee you that they don’t all have corners like that. Do a Google image search for “hump-back trunk 1870s” and you won’t see any corners like that in most of the images. In fact, only a few do, and it’s mostly the later ones after 1891 that seem to have that feature. It seems like no two are exactly alike. </p><p><br /></p><p>ladybub, to answer your question, it does not have any wheels or rollers. Especially now after I removed the bottom!&nbsp; Haha it was in terrible shape on the bottom, but I’m confident it didn’t have any wheels. I am going to replace the bottom with pine and not attempt to blend it or anything like that. I kinda want the replaced parts to be plainly visible and immediately recognized as replacements.&nbsp; Kinda like piecing dinosaur fossils together!&nbsp; This morning, we got into the crate that was smashed as flat as a pancake at the bottom of the mill ruins, and there are some more tools and two large millstones below.&nbsp; I’ll get some pics of this stuff as we clean it up and bring it in!&nbsp; Hopefully, some tool experts hang out on this site![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
