This Old Trunk
by

This
old trunk lived in our attic
A good forty years or so
Bought it when we first were married
To store fond memories as we grew old
Painted
gray it occupied its corner
Was visited at times to store things of past
Grew dusty, dirty and very neglected
Looked very much like a relative outcast
Now
that I'm retired and somewhat inactive
Decided to refurbish it and seek
Its hidden beauty and potential value
After breathing new life into this American antique
Took
it to my basement workshop
And planned its future with great pain
Cleaned it, stripped it, stained it, added new
hardware
Then dressed it in a coat of polyurethane
When
finished it sparkled like a new star
That found its place among the many things
In our house where life is precious and guarded
It's now used to fill a storage need

Do you have an old musty antique trunk
in your basement or attic? Would you like to have it revitalized
and refurbished so that it could become a useful piece
of furniture? At STEVENS ANTIQUE TRUNKS
, we can restore and revitalize your antique trunk, if
it is in reasonably fair condition. Once refurbished,
your trunk can be used as a decorative coffee table, end
table or storage unit for clothes, blankets, linens, toys,
keepsakes, etc. It will add an Early American dimension
to your home, making it a unique conversation piece, showing
a special interest in your family heritage.
Antique steamer trunks are part of American
history and are becoming very rare. Once used to transport
personal belongings on sailing vessels, railroads and
even covered wagons in early American frontier days, an
old trunk may be remodeled by us to become a very artful
and functional part of your household. If you care to
own a useful and decorative piece of Americana, please
