18thc trunks for paper. Just two of many in my files.
One of these I'd been waiting decades to see. It's in the VMHC exhibit Un/bound and belongs to the Madden family. An 18th c ancestor of this free black family kept her freedom papers +more. Wasn't discovered in an attic until the 20thc.

Another obsession... trunks where 18thc papers were stored and moved -- here are two examples from reecent trips in an accumulating file of them. So. Many.
And the Hancock trunk / Revere dash/ lumber across Lexington Green in part of that corpus (in the attic that is my mind). 4/
