Hello,

My husband inherited an old Packard trunk from his grandmother. We're unsure of the year, and have an offer of $100 for it. Can anyone give us an idea of the value of the trunk based on these pictures? Sorry I don't have any more info on the trunk, and thanks in advance for your help.

It's a genuine Kam-Lee Packard trunk and appears in lovely condition. Are the interior suitcases and/or hatbox still inside and in similar condition?

Interest in the 30s cars is waning, but somewhere out there is a buyer. Just my own guess based on others I've seen sold, I'd think more like $400 and almost certainly more if the interior cases are still in it. And if the exterior is really excellent as it appears, I'd think those kind of prices are a bargain. Restoring a trunk like that including the interior lining and hardware is a very expensive proposition. Do you have the key for the lock?

JLB, welcome to PackardInfo.com.

Come this way to find a couple of information.

I don't have a use for it and i'll give you $125 plus shipping.

It doesn't have any interior cases, but the interior itself is in good condition. We do have the key for the lock.

We really like it and were going to keep it, but if $100 was a good deal for it, we'd sell it. Sounds like we should turn down that offer.

Thanks for the quick responses and advice!
