These were saved, but what "trash" was thrown away?? The inserts for these chests perhaps, and...?
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

I can only say what I'd be willing to pay for one, FWIW. I'd be comfortable somewhere between $60.00 to $40.00 depending on condition and any inserts. I reason they're big and heavy and what are you going to do with them other then a novelty. I'm a cheap bustard so could be way off but that's my buyer's prospective.

warpig i agree with you i cheep too thats why i like to trade things. plus unless some one was going to pick them up i not sure what shipping would be. i kinda feel that if all inserts were present an in perfect shape then they would comand a better price. as for being big thank god i have a 60 by 60 garage.

Where are located? I imagine shipping on these may be quite high.
Thanks,
