Military electrical trunk

By mjktcook, 17 October, 2011
Description

I bought this trunk at an auction to use as decor in my son's room. When we got it home, though, it was full of items.  There is some blue spray paint on top but underneath says "electrical lighting equipment set".  I contains cables, reflectors, blue bulbs, connectors, etc.  There isn't anything stored underneath the top lift out compartment.  I don't know if it's worth much, but I don't think that it is a good choice of decor for his room. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Re: Military electrical trunk

The overall condition is poor, the paint on the top kind of put the dagger in any value.

Your best bet would to try and find a site that has buyers of military items... if in fact it is military (and I don't think it is)... you will know in minutes with many a reply. Those who collecty military items, pay big bucks for things rare and or vintage.

 

Best of luck
