[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 897995, member: 11768"]It’s been a couple years since I moved into my loft space, and I’ve created a nice atmosphere of modern meets antique & vintage, my personal heaven. There is an antique/thrift place across the alley from where I live (almost too convenient lol). The first thing I purchased there was this vintage McBrine trunk, it was right in front of me as soon as I walked in the door. There was this gentleman looking at it, so I asked him what he knew about it. He had estimated that it was around 1940 vintage. I have looked online & have found very similar models from around that era, so I assume that’s correct. Obviously I was the one who ended up buying it, I got it for $45, not bad. I have not restored it, I plan on leaving it the way I bought it.
