How much do you think its worth?

Question

My great grandmother has he father trunk in her garage. She says its about 103 years old. Her father used it to come to american from Italy.

All i know is that its from italy and a 103 years old.

Its in ok condition.

do you think you might know how much its worth

Answer 1

A 2 years ago I've sold a similar trunk (mine was from around the end of 1800 - not in perfect conditions) at € 300= abt. 400 US$. After 2 years and being yours in ok condition I guess the value would be around € 500 = US$ 650.

However this is the price of the market in Italy, I've no idea of where you're living and if prices are same as here.

Answer 2

Sell it on ebay

Answer 3

No, I can't imagine how much it's worth without seeing it but maybe your grandmother should consider donating it to the Ellis Island Museum. We saw many trunks there that people donated. It's a shame it's sitting in a garage.

You would need to take a picture of this trunk and bring it to a antique shop.

Good Luck
