Here's a little about the Legacy
Trunks Family
|
We are located in the Beautiful
Rocky Mountains on the |
| North Slope of
Pikes Peak, Colorado. |
| |
We have been
selling online since the early 1990's!
We sell many great products on our websites LegacyTrunks.com,
Legacy-Store.com, and CBSMart.com |
|
First, let us begin by saying
that this trunk business is a labor of love, and is not going to
make us rich! This all started because we collected Antique trunks,
woodenware boxes, wood crates, etc. We just love them all! The
problem we had was that we could not store all of them. After
refinishing an Antique Dome Top trunk, a friend wanted to buy it,
and suggested that we should sell them as they were truly Beautiful
once we had refinished them. We thought about it for some time, and
decided to sell some of them as we continued to collect more. We
will continue to do this business as long as it is a labor of love.
We have other occupations, and this part of our joy in life. We
can't imagine a time that we will ever stop feeling the exhilaration
of finding a great historical Trunk, and then transforming it into
an updated Beauty to Begin it's New Legacy. |

Me...I have been a
collector since I about 10 years old. My mom would take
my brother, sister and myself to garage sales every
weekend and then occasionally we would go to the Flea
Market and sell some of our treasures to buy extra things
for ourselves. When I was little I hated always going to
the Flea Market, so I have to chuckle at how much I enjoy
it now, and we rarely miss going on the weekends. My
sister calls me a "junker" but I really get a kick out of
finding bargains and then passing some of them on as well
as keeping some!
Refinishing trunks is one of my favorite things. |

|
|
I have been a
collector, or as Sidnee says, a 'Packrat' for what seems
like my entire life. I appreciate the beauty and story
that goes along with antique treasures. Bringing an
Antique back to a new beauty is truly rewarding for me. My
main function is to do the internet work. I design the
websites, as well as refinishing trunks, fly fishing rods,
and vintage stereo equipment as I can. We have a great
family, wonderful friends, loving pets, and are lucky
enough to live in one of the most awe inspiring places in
the world. What more can you ask for? |

Our stores are a reflection of some of
the things we really find interesting, especially items that are
related to Colorado where we live or the Old West. Most of the
things are what we have carried around in boxes for the last 30
years. We finally have come to realize that we will never have a
display case big enough to hold it all. |

The Kids: |
| |
|
|
Corbin and Leslie are 'the
kids'. |
|

(HELP!) They are both involved in school, friends, activities, and
our family life. They are Great !
They are always creatively and functionally helpful in our
endeavors. |

chance and love to be outdoors. |

We have 2 cats, Susie, and Henry. Susie is our
outdoor barn cat, that is where she loves to be. She is a pretty
Calico. Henry is a long haired black and white Tuxedo cat who ‘rules
the roost’. Basically, he thinks he is the head dog, cat, horse,
bird, and human in the house! |

Bloomers is a ring neck dove that lives
in her indoor and outdoor cages depending on the weather. Pumpkin is
the coolest orange pumpkin and black colored Canary you will ever
see. He lives in his antique wrought iron cage, and loves to sing to
George Strait, Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall, and multiple television
show themes. Weird Bird. |
