I've learned more about your trunk. It is VERY rare. And there was only 1 or two that should have been painted in that way. I believe that your trunk was on the French "Moto Bloc" car from Great Race of 1908, which was the first international auto race ever. There were only 6 cars in the race! The name of the race wasn't the Moto Bloc...it was the name of the CAR! My bet is that there is only one trunk...and you have it. I would honestly find out about contacting a museum with your trunk. Because it was from a french race and is much older than I thought (Moto bloc was 190. You may be able to sell it to an auto museum or other historical society. I would contact LV first by using their website "contact us" page and ask about dating and appraising your antique trunk. Then start looking for museums that exhibit french moto bloc items. If you can sell it to a museum you may rake in some big $$$.

i understand it but at the same time have to laugh about it.. I preach to all sorts of ebay sellers who dont know what their selling and teachthem into knowing what they are selling to earn a few extra bucks. I do it with shoes. I realize the vast majority are laughing at shoes the same way Imlaughing at this trunk. sometimes it takes something like a trunk to realize how weird something like vintage shoes really are. dr spaceman, if anything impoking fun at the very thing I like, vintage shoes.. I remember some straight heat being sold by people who didnt know what it was.. It looks like the same issaid to be true here with the trunk.... nice unique find.

You thinking of dropping off a stack of $20s into his mailbox? sometimes those kind gestures go along way. I wouldnt call it ripping him off as he stated theprice, but that education phase does come full circle on you

Once you figure out how much its worth, I would sell it asap. Unless you collection vintage trunks or LV, I don't see any reason to keeping it. Great find.
