Trunk chest military bench 50s militaria

Very nice big trunk, military chest of the 50s. Its major asset: its age associated with its rarity. Its little extra: its beautiful size that offers storage and allows you to use it as a small bench easily lodged. The additional surprise: its compartmentalized drawer still contains four small vestiges of its former use of transporting electrical equipment. Sold in its juice. Very nice contrasting effect of the khaki paint with the red undercoat that has become apparent. On the metal studs the paint would tell me to be stabilized by a matte or satin varnish to protect it and stop the take-off of scales. Wood has many imperfections. The two tin document holders are oxidized and deserve a treatment with household vinegar, unscrewing them for a bath or applying "poultices" of vinegar under taped plastic, then the application of a discreet matt or satin protective varnish. The opening of the drawer a little difficult needs to be reviewed. Rare.With all the attributes of a beautiful military trunk: contrast of green and red, compartments, indicative plates and many inscriptions in white paint. Weight 12kg. Height 38, 5cm, length 60cm, depth 28cm. Careful shipment by carrier.
