Named WW2 US Army Air Force Officer Transit Archive Hartmann Trunk Footlocker:
$4000.00

Offered is an exceptional original military travel grouping consisting of a Hartmann wardrobe trunk paired with its matching military aluminum footlocker, both retaining the original provenance of Lt. (later Col.) Brumbaugh.

Unlike most vintage trunks that have lost their history, this set remains together and includes multiple pieces directly tied to its original owner.

Included

Original Hartmann wardrobe trunk

Matching aluminum military footlocker

Original engraved "COL BRUMBAUGH" identification plate

Vintage U.S. pilot wings

Period Chinese banknotes discovered inside the wardrobe trunk

Original Hartmann travel booklet

Original Hartmann hangers

Four interior drawers with leather pulls

Folding hanging rack

Shoe storage straps

The footlocker retains original military shipping stencils referencing Lt. Brumbaugh, Col. Brumbaugh, Fort Mason, San Francisco, Indianapolis, and Air Force transportation markings, documenting decades of military service and travel.

The Hartmann wardrobe trunk still carries its original manufacturer's badge and remains remarkably complete internally. The matching footlocker and wardrobe have clearly stayed together throughout their service life, making this an increasingly difficult grouping to find.

Condition

Both pieces exhibit honest age and use consistent with military service and decades of travel.

Expected signs of age include:

Scratches

Scuffs

Paint wear

Patina to hardware

Minor cosmetic imperfections

Nothing has been restored or refinished, preserving the originality collectors appreciate.

Military museums
