In the category of "small world," my buddy was wasting time in a thrift store in Virginia Beach and came across this item. It is an original travel trunk once owned by chewing gum magnate and Cubs owner William Wrigley. Obviously there are some condition issues but I thought this was a pretty neat item to surface, especially in, of all places, a thrift store some 700 miles from Chicago. Apparently the store's owner contacted the HOF and had it authenticated shortly after it was donated, and the Hall even had pictures that showed Wrigley with this very trunk. That's the story I was given at least. If legitimate, I still don't know if $800 is a good price for something like this, and it certainly isn't a fit for my collection, but I thought it was worthy of sharing at the least.
