| A medium size antique trunk with an alligator skin patterned metal covering and a fancy double lock. We know this style lock was originally patented in 1871 but believe this one to be a little later than that. Wood slats and everything had been painted black many years ago but overall it is in sound shape. Armando requested the slat hardware be given a natural patina look, the slats given a darker, aged oak color, and maybe a little cedar placed inside. We'll do our best to give this gator a nice look before it continues it's journey to California. |

| The middle door of the inside compartment was missing and replaced and the a little cedar on the inside bottom under the tray was installed to complete the work. |
