Travel suitcase restoration. Found 20 000 💲 under a secret bottom.

I bought this old trunk from a used goods site.
I don't know much about the seller and I'm currently unable to contact him as he has deleted his profile on the classifieds site.
If I contacted him, I would try to find out from him how there was so much money in this old suitcase!!!
I posted some information about this money in the video, so turn on the subtitles and be sure to read! it will be interesting.

Recovery process:
The first thing I did was remove all the old rusty rivets. Then he removed the old material from the suitcase. Then, using epoxy putty, I repaired some of the cracks in the wood case.
As a new material for lining the suitcase, I used eco-leather. The old protective corners were damaged and I used modern chrome ones.
The handle of the suitcase was also in poor condition, and I made a new one, recorded the detailed process on video.

I think that you will also be interested in watching a video on restoring an old Soviet drilling machine.

Много лет назад в 90 стые, я купила на барахолке в Красноярске небольшой чемоданчик деревянный с инкрустацией, барыга какой то торговал. Много чего было, но меня тронул именно он. Внутри обит ситчиком в цветочек, но пожелтевшим и очень пыльным. Купила недорого. Попросила мужа снять ситец и почистить чемоданчик. Он разобрал его весь, и нашел такой же потайное дно. Нашел небольшую ученическую тетрадь и это оказался дневник зэка. Мужчина, по фамилии Потапов писал как во время войны его арестовали прямо на передовой за невыполнение приказа / кстати приказ был идиотский/ дали срок, отправили в лагерь. Он просил сообщить своим родственникам о своей судьбе. И был адрес. Мы с мужем написали по адресу, но там уже никаких Потаповых не было. Искали год, и нашли! Нашли уже его дочь и внуков! В другом городе, передали тетрадь. Мы отдавали и чемоданчик, но они не взяли, нам подарили на память и спасибо! Так родственники узнали судьбу своего предка.

I bought an old small suitcase (fabric sided) in my 20s from Goodwill (non-profit used store). In my 60s I noticed a pocket partially hidden inside and found a perfect one-dollar bill from 1823. Since I was having a hard time financially, decided to try selling it...received almost $200 for a one dollar bill.

Hi 👋 Northern Michigan here. As soon as that top fell out and revealed the stacks...I just can't imagine!! And this is exactly why I examine everything I find...especially if is old. I'm rambling I suppose but I bought this house last fall here in the states. It was built in 1947 and I have gone through most of the heat vents and cold air returns. Found a silver quarter from the fifties...lots and lots of old marbles from the same time. A cap gun from the fifties. No stacks of money though!!! The excitement of a possible discovery keeps me going. It is also why I metal detect. Awesome work!!

Newspaper is EXCELLENT as a water absorber/releaser. That's actually a pretty cool use for it...especially since there was a lot of ocean travel back then. Smart.

I remember when I was a kid my grandfather would do clean outs an he was cleaning out a old widowers house who had really fallen on yards times after her husband passed years earlier when throwing out the old piano bench he busted it up in the truck there was more than $10000 in a compartment which he turned back over to her, it really helped her an was like a gift from her dead husband right when she needed it

An older gentleman I know bought a fixer upper house, and when going through it found an old chest tucked away in a closet space behind a wall. Turned out it was an antique Lane cedar chest. He showed it to me, and it had beautiful inlay workmanship done on the legs, edges and lid. It wasn't your average cedar chest. He sent pictures to the company Lane, and they told him the chest would bring around 25 thousand at auction. They wanted to buy it and said it belongs in a museum. That was over 25 years ago. Not sure what it's worth now, but the house he found it in cost him 20k. He made out well on that one.

Happened to a friend back in the late 70's. He rented a house after the previous renter had passed away. One day while looking through the basement ceiling rafters for some reason or another, he found an old cigar box. Inside was a little over $16, 000.00 cash! That was a whole lotta cheese back then.

Символ моего прошлого. Чемоданчик моего дяди Лёвы. Царствие ему небесное.

Максимыч, я очень рад, что случайно нашел тебя.
Шикарная работа!
За Архиповского тебе обнимашки и долгие лета!

[Destrould]

Да, сумма внушительная. В то время можно было столько на эти деньги купить, и машину, и мебель, и аппаратуру всякую, да или просто жить несколько лет безбедно. Ждали наверное лучших времён, а они не наступили. Ещё раз убеждаюсь, жить нужно сегодня и сейчас.

Благодарю вас за уважительное отношение к старым вещам. Результат потрясающий. Смотреть было очень интересно. Есть 5 старых чемоданов, думаю как найти фурнитуру, чтобы отреставрировать их тоже.

[troytaylor]

That was a fantastic job recovering the case and fun to watch the surprise come when the top cover fell out. Well done.

Rany, prawdziwy ukryty skarb! Coś takiego zdaża się raz w życiu. Zazdroszczę.

[ЮлияМ-нф]

Отличная работа! Пока смотрела, вспомнила все фразочки из советских комедий:"тебя посодют, а ты не воруй", "с таким счастьем и на свободе", "такое бывает раз в жизни и то не у всех"🤣🤣🤣и про чемодан бухгалтера Корейко вспомнила🤣🤣🤣Ну теперь чемоданчик такой шикарный, что прятать его смысла не имеет, слишком заметен! 👍👍👍👍👍

Great video. I did the conversion from Rubles to US dollars and the 20, 000 Rubles are now worth $258.98 US
