GUEST: When I lived in Denver, a gentleman offered me this for $25, and we used it as a coffee table in front of our sofa for 40 years, almost.
APPRAISER: Wow, you've had it a long time. Well, what you have here is a Louis Vuitton trunk. They're a French leather goods company, and it was probably made in the mid to late 19th century. Each one of the leather pieces is stamped "Louis Vuitton."
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: I mean, they've really got their logo all over the trunk. Now, on this side, there's an ironing board with this trunk. So this...
GUEST: Oh! Yeah.
APPRAISER: Yeah. It's... nice and sturdy. A trunk like this would probably be worth $6,000 to $8,000...
GUEST: Oh, wow, really?
APPRAISER: In a, in a vintage store-- you know, possibly bring more. So I think it was a very good investment on your part to pay $25 for this.
GUEST: Well, okay. (chuckles)
APPRAISER: Yeah, I think you did pretty well.
