Hide-covered trunk

This old hide-covered trunk used to be in my collection. It could stand up to any kind of weather and protected important family records, etc. I think we sold it at our big auction in Killbuck. It probably dated in the late 1800s. I haven’t seen another. We should have kept it - but when you look back, how many of you can say the same thing about some item you have sold, kind of like crying over spilled milk.

Recent auction prices: gray granite coffee pot, $20; wood coffee grinder, $20; Nancy Drew books, $7 each; two Dietz barn lanterns, $25; wood barrel churn, $50; PRR lantern, $35; Daisy BB gun, $30; photo album, $35; small anvil, $25; charcoal iron, $10; water can, $15; metal mailbox, $15; Keen Kutter ax, $25; milk stool, $3; chick waterer, $20; string of sleigh bells, $85.

Happy hunting, Brooks.
