<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 4497307, member: 37"]Pretty typical turn of the century steamer trunk. Someone has stripped off the fabric covering and refinished the wood. This is a pretty common and, generally, enhances value. These sell in the $75-$125 range at retail here in my Midwest location. Used to bring more. Might bring more in other locations (large cities, coastal areas, etc.). </p><p><br /></p><p>I don't see anything exceptional about this trunk so no real reason to not modify it further. That said, why not find one that hasn't already been refinished to work your magic on? They can usually be picked up pretty cheaply. I see them under $25.00 here regularly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
