    This is the only camel back steamer trunk currently in my collection. It's missing the tray and has been "wallpapered" inside (not sure if the original lining is underneath) but overall I think it's in great condition considering that none of the handles nor leather strap holds are broken, and it cost only $30 through a local Buy & Sell website.

    I suspect the original lining was probably removed given that the previous owner cut out the lid tag and fastened it to the new wallpaper lining.

    It's missing one of the rollers on the bottom so it's a bit wobbly but I'm currently using it to store leather scraps and fabric and other craft-related items.

      Ahh! This one's in NICE condition!! If it were mine I'd just clean the exterior and seal the canvas and polish the hardware. Looks good. And GREAT buy Kydur!!

      Thanks for the encouragement guys - now I just have to seek out some good How-To videos and then work on the motivation, although seeing both of your restoration results should be enough!
