Description
Presenting from ebay GOLD powerseller CUBICMOD This absolutely PHENOMENAL ALL ORIGINAL L O U I S V U I T T O N ANTIQUE STEAMER TRUNK with ORIGINAL LEATHER SURROUND STRAP BELT ORIGINAL WORKING KEY & THREE (3) ORIGINAL INTERIOR TRAYS/DRAWERS/BASKETS in ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CONDITION FOR ITS AGE! THIS KIND OF TRUNK IS ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD OF BECAUSE OF THE RARE ITEMS THAT IT STILL RETAINS: ORIGINAL LEATHER BELT STRAP ORIGINAL, almost 100% complete, intact LEATHER STRAP BELT THAT ENCIRCLES the entire trunk! These are SO rarely seen, so to find a trunk with one remaining is a rare find indeed! ORIGINAL WORKING KEY Engraved Paris Louis Vuitton London with Serial Number! ORIGINAL THREE (3) INTERIOR INSERTS/TRAYS/DRAWERS The three original drawers are still remaining with this phenomenal trunk. INCREDIBLE CONDITION Please read below for detailed descriptions of these incredible features! E X C E P T I O N A L D E T A I L S : Trunk features the most popular design which is the LV monogram canvas exterior. Louis Vuitton started out in the late 1800's with the plain Trianon canvas, which began to be duplicated by competitors. He therefore switched to the Striped trunks, which also became copied, which brought about the Damier...which - you guessed it - was knocked off! He therefore decided to use his own initials as a trademark monogram and the rest is history! (as we all know the duplication of his designs never ceased even to this day!) Of all the designs Louis made for his trunks, by far the most popular and therefore most valuable is the LV monogram. Solid brass hardware Center trunk latch reads: BTE SGDG PATENT 1 RUE SCRIBE PARIS LOUIS VUITTON LONDON 149 NEW BOND STREET MADE IN FRANCE 0 3 1 2 9 6 (lock serial number) Two solid brass side latches engraved LV Original Owners initials painted to either side of trunk: A.A.W. Newport Rhode Island Very unique & distinct black and white painted stripe encircling trunk Three (3) wood ribs to the top, front and back of the trunk still all present and in good condition. There is a RAILWAY LABEL present that reads a date of August 1928. U L T R A E X C E P T I O N A L D E T A I L S : UPGRADED LEATHER TRIM PACKAGE: The base trunk models featured metal trimming surrounding the edges of the trunks. Customers could order an upgraded leather trim package, which the owner of this trunk opted for. Beautiful leather trim surrounds all the edges of this trunk and mini LV’s are stamped into the leather. Upgraded Bottom Wheel roller Package. This trunk also features the optional bottom wheels that enable it to roll on a floor with ease. All 4 rollers present and in working order. Bottom features 3 wooden slats labeled: LOUIS VUITTON LONDON 149 NEW BOND STREET PARIS 1 RUE SCRIBE UNDERCARRIAGE CONTINUATION OF LV MONOGRAM: Another custom feature is having the exterior monogram canvas material extended to the bottom of the trunk. Many LV trunks have just a black bottom or sometimes zinc in more humid climates. This one is beautiful LV monogram on every single side! NO MISSING BRASS HARDWARE Incredibly enough, as far as we can see, this trunk is not missing one rivet, one corner brass protector, not a single important piece of brass. Each brass piece is present and in working order from what we can tell and in exceptional condition for its age. None of the brass has been polished. We pick and choose trunks that we feel may benefit from a bit of a polish. But this beauty is so unique and so exceptional in its all original state that we felt it necessary to preserve it's beautiful history and patina. The trunk speaks for itself and shows off its own glory...no help needed! Included is a piece of leather stamped with the retailer's name: Crouch & Fitzgerald, NY. TRUNK STILL RETAINS ORIGINAL SERIAL NUMBER & LABEL Many times in trunks of this age, the serial number may be faded away and the label will be missing, but unsurprisingly this trunk has its label and serial number perfectly in tact in wonderful condition and reads as follows: Asnieres S/seine LOUIS VUITTON Paris - 70. Champs. Elysees Nice - 4, Jardin Public Lille - 34, Rue Faidherbe London - 149, New Bond Street SERIAL NUMBER STAMPED DIRECTLY TO THE LEFT OF LABEL READS AS FOLLOWS: 7 2 6 7 1 7 INTERIOR LID LINING & RIBBONING IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND ALL PRESENT As could be expected the interior lid is incredible. All ribboning is intact and present and not one rivet that holds the ribboning is missing, as far as we can tell. The ribboning is embroidered Louis Vuitton. The only thing worth mentioning is some minor water staining that could probably be cleaned. P H E N O M E N A L D E T A I L S : CONDITION The condition of this trunk is absolutely amazing for its antique age. Aside from certain wear and tear that can be expected, this trunk is in remarkable condition. It has survived all these years with nary a rip or tear….only the perfect patina one would desire to display this beautiful piece of art. Please view photos in detail for condition. LEATHER BELT STRAP SURROUND & HOLDERS Amazingly this trunk still retains its ORIGINAL leather surround belt and buckle! By this time in these antique trunk’s lives, most belts are long gone. Very rarely is a remaining belt seen. And the belt is almost 100% complete! The only missing part of the belt is in the back. You can see the missing part by looking closely at the pictures provided. The belt itself is still in incredible condition considering its antique age. Even more amazing, the buckle to the belt still remains in the front! (view pictures). In addition the trunk still retains the belt loops that are engraved: PARIS LOUIS VUITTON MADE IN FRANCE LONDON ORIGINAL WORKING KEY! This trunk retains its original locking key that reads as follows: L. VUITTON LONDON 031296 The key, comprised of solid brass, is in perfect condition and perfect working order. The number engraved matches the serial number on the front trunk lock/latch. THREE (3) INTERIOR TRAYS Trunk retains original 3 interior inserts/drawers as follows: (1) Square shaped tray with long thin open compartment & two lift open lids that reveal 2 long thin compartments and 3 divided compartments; (1) full size tray divided into two large compartments to sort belongings, features Louis Vuitton ribboning (1) full size tray with two side handles and two belts with solid brass buckles engraved as follows: LOUIS VUITTON BREVETE In all, this is an outstanding trunk and we are proud to offer it for your consideration.

We know there is a LOT of fake Louis Vuitton out there on ebay and we understand the concern many ebayers have of being ripped off! We know how you feel! Many people claim their merchandise is authentic.

If you have a question about a particular item on ebay, please feel free to ask us about it...we can usually tell you if it is a fraud. Some warnings: Look at the sellers feedback. Are they a somewhat new member? Do they have zero or low feedback? Do they provide minimal pictures? Ask them if they are the original owner or if they have had it authenticated at the LV store. Ask them if they have the original receipt. Many times sellers will state they can send a copy of the receipt. Beware of Copies of receipts. Anyone can buy a real LV bag from the store and then copy the receipt hundreds of times to include with the same bag that is a fake. There is some protection, so if you receive a fake, use the ebay protection guidelines that are put into place for these kinds of fraudsters. The more people who report this kind of abuse, the less fakes will be offered on ebay! We here at CUBICMOD take pride in knowing that EVERY SINGLE piece we offer is guaranteed 100% absolutely authentic or your money back! Please review our feedback and you will see happy customers and the many beautiful luxury authentic items we offer. PAYMENTS We accept Paypal and Bank Wires.

SHIPPING: The $500 shipping cost to the USA is an estimate and it will more than likely cost less in the USA...any additional amounts paid above costs will be refunded to buyer. We missed the DIMENSIONS in the description and will be adding shortly. Please stay tuned... On Jun-28-08 at 22:45:51 PDT, seller added the following information:WE ARE MAKING ANOTHER NOTE REGARDING THE SHIPPING, SO HOPEFULLY INTERESTED PARTIES WILL BE AWARE THAT THE SHIPPING PRICE TO USA IS MISCALCULATED. IT SHOULD BE MORE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $275. THE DIFFERENCE IN ACTUAL COSTS TO SHIP WILL BE REFUNDED TO THE BUYER...OR RECALCULATED BEFORE CHECKOUT. IT IS THE INTERNATIONAL PRICE THAT SHOULD BE MORE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE TRIED TO ADJUST THE SHIPPING, BUT SINCE BIDS WERE ALREADY PLACED, EBAY'S SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR THE CHANGE.
