Antique Questions Forum / Steamer trunks

« on: August 05, 2006, 12:22:54 am »

We are in the process of sorting out great grandma's barn and have the truck loaded up with several big steamer trunks, most smelling pretty musty, but have great ambiance and look to be very old.  Any worth in these?  One place told me they'd be interested if they were made of wood and could be used as a coffee table.  But these are not wood.  Several are metal with straps and a few have curved tops.

Antique Questions Forum / Connected wooden folding chairs

« on: August 05, 2006, 12:18:11 am »

We have two sets of 3 antique folding wooden chairs from the '40's? that are connected to one another.  I am not sure the best way to describe these to people.  I looked on Ebay and saw some single chairs that appear similar called ACME but I don't see any lables on mine.  I am curious what they were used for.  Thanks!
