<p>[QUOTE="Metwerks, post: 326826, member: 6675"]I inherited what I was told is a pre-civil or civil war trunk. The inside is lined with newspaper from Pittsburgh Saturday Evening dated June 8, 1839. When I looked up the paper, it appears they were only around from Jan 1837-1838. I assume this is a mocked up newspaper but it still looks old. Anyone know any history or can identify the age of the trunk? Thoughts on the newspaper?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
