it's a Louis Vuitton trunk, shoe salesman work box. we had to manufacture 14 shoe boxes , sew a handle together and clean layers of wax off the leather. Revitalizing the leather and leaving the patina on it and the brass. Each brass nail has Louis Vuitton stamped into the brass large and small. I called the LV store in NYC and they told me it is one of the rearest LV trunks.

I lack the confidence to have moved that from the car to your shop! Kudos for the skill and know how to tackle working on something as rare and valuable as this. Well done!

I'm with Rennie...it took a lot of know-how and confidence to take on a job like this one. Well done, Dave. :thumb:

Thanks Rennie and Vaughn. I did the leather cleaning and over saw the construction of the boxes and repairs. About 50 hrs went into this job.
