The truck showed up in my life on July 13th from MN, my Dad brought it back with him as luggage for me. It was in tough shape. It needed a new back and bottom. New 'tin' on the back and parts on the side, new handle, lock and new coverings on the inside, along with new embellishment pieces. Its was cool to be able to save something that is 100 years old and something that no one else wanted. I finished it on September 26th. The dates are important to me as all good things in my life involve the number 13!
Nice work! What despair did you save this old trunk from?
