Got a free steamer trunk today

[MackDigger]

Any value to this? Not in bad shape just a little rust. I don’t know anything about them but I saw it on the tree lawn on junk day and just loved the look of it. Figure Ide use it for storage if nothing else.

Nice save! A little cleaning and you will have a great storage trunk!

I believe there was a shelf that fit in the top area.

 

[MackDigger]

Anyone have a guess on a value? Please and thanks.

No idea on value but the flat top trunks are more desireable than the arch tops

 

[Red James Cash]

If it is missing the tray that goes on top you can cut it's worth in half.My guess is 100 bucks if that.

 

[catherine1]

I'm thinking that is worth what somebody would pay for it. Probably 50 bucks at best.....

who cares? I want the 55

Obviously the lid has been removed. What kind of shape are the hinges in, and the attachment points - need pics for that.

I have two steamer trunks packed with linens.

 

[MackDigger]

Top was removed but easily tacks back on.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Not worth a ton of money 50-100 bucks...but still cool as hell. and FREE is always a great price

5 years ago I sold a nice complete flat-top and also a humpback, to pickers, $50 for the pair. They were probably worth twice that.

 

[Rookster]

Cleaned up. $145 to $150.

 

[MackDigger]

Anyone know how best to clean it?

Ive bought them at 30 - 40 and sold them 75 to 100
