Warning:
Beware of claims that a trunk offered for sale is a genuine Excelsior Oak Slat trunk. These trunks are being reproduced due to their high value. There were other makers besides Excelsior and many, even though antique, are of inferior quality. Ask for proof before you purchase. Additionally, has it been refinished or restored? A badly done job will reduce the value of this trunk and you may have to pay a thousand dollars or more to have it redone properly. We have seen a number of them on Ebay that are not the real thing. If you have any doubt feel free to contact us for a consultation.
