William Wrigley travel trunk

[whitehse]

There is a great deal of information online regarding repair and restoration of steamer trunks such as this one. While i am sure you dont want to change much, if anything on this trunk, perhaps some of these restoration places can give you an idea of value of the trunk only and not the sports related value.

For the record, I see this item in the hall of fame or maybe even a Wrigley museum (if one even exists). This truck is very cool.

I missed this post while scrolling on my phone, thanks for this info! Where's an Antiques Roadshow appearance when you need one?

And I agree completely on your last point. When my friend first told me about this item I mentioned the HOF maybe having an interest in it. I may try to contact someone at the Wrigley corporation and see if there's any info they can provide.

Good Luck Derek! I agree, museum quality piece. Kind of exciting - keep us posted on what you learn and how this progresses. And when you get it, seeing a few more close up pics from different angles would be cool.
