I’m so proud that an ACL reader won the auction! Well played sir. If you don’t want to keep it, turn around and resell it, but keep it together as a collection.

I’m a big fan of your blog, and a huge aficionado of vintage military, western, and workwear. I read your posting about this trunk and on a whim bid on it. I won. Not sure my wife will know what to make of this trunk and none of the clothes will fit me, but it seemed to good to pass up.

This is such a unique time capsule of an era. It is astounding that it is intact. I know I have the Collector’s Gene when I see something like this and actually start to think about bidding…
