Two questions. I found a seceret compartment in an old steamer trunk I bought years ago.?
This old steamer trunk has produced like a treasure chest for me. Got it at auction, fully locked, unopened and had all kinds of expensive goodies inside. The trunk was raggedy on the outside and it did have a mildew smell so I knew something inside was bad. Turned out to be sheets and linens with large initials embodied on each initials DK. B. and a crest. They were full of holes and had rotted except for the silk thread work. And worth zip. But, there was also something rolled on the outside in raw canvas and inside rolled with some sort of waxed paper. It was a large rug made of silk all made in large knots. There were also some silver and gold coins everyone dated the same 1910 and there were 12 of each and all were French. The coins and the rug were worth a large amount and did provide a wild payback for the cost of the trunk. But, not a clue where it came from or who owned it once other than it had been in New Orleans all those years quietly antique rug Pieces rotting away. The trunk seemed to have been owned by either someone else, rented or who knows. It does have L.V. stamped into the two brass handles and right under the front lock. all corners and side straps are made of brass and there were leather bands that have long since rotted away and canvas that has rotted and only strips remain under the straps and brass. I pulled on piece out last week and it too had L.V. on it. BUT, here is the wild part. The trunk was in our atick full of our junk and old items and getting it down a false bottom breaks open. We all searched for a lever or opener but there was none. Seems it had been nailed in place all this time. And inside the little compartment we found Two very very old Cameras. Each wrapped in the same wax type paper. One has a black leather case and strap like new. One has a green case and off all things it is green! A green camera! Both Cameras it seems are Plenax and use an odd type of film. And to our amazement they both are in great shape. No rust or breakage. But, another surprise is that we were very careful opening both cameras in case there was film still inside. Each one we discovered how to open being very careful and then placed inside a Film changing type bag. Actually a large thick black bag since it was large enough and totally dark. We found a full roll of exposed film inside the Green Camera! Its Kodak Film With black wheels and Red Paper with Yellow Printing stating its exposed? Its Verichrome Film Pan 620? Once I felt the film I placed some tape around it so it would not just curl open and ruin any possible pictures. Anyone know where we could get this possibly very important film looked at to see if it could still be developed? Somewhere here in the Dallas Fort Worth Area or some local expert? Further, anyone know of someone known as L.V. from france or someone named DK. B. Also from france or elsewhere? The reason Ive contacted Yahoo answers is that the variety of people that read this forum is amazing. So, I will try to list these questions on Photography, History, Antiques, and
