Unique Auctions are delighted to present another Louis Vuitton Trunk for auction in their New Years Day Auction. Over the past two years Unique Auctions has had great success in selling Louis Vuitton Trunks including one belonging to Princess Stella of Kapurthala.
Louis Vuitton Trunk belonging to Dr A. Crabtree and Ronald Reginald Palmer
Dr A. Crabtree, the A-C on the trunk. Dr A Crabtree tended WW1 wounded in a hospital in Surrey. He treated New Zealand soldiers. He kept an autograph book which contains signatures and sketches by some of those he treated. This book was donated to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, N.Z. some years ago.
The trunk was left to Ronald Reginald Palmer (b. Aug. 1925) by Mr Perkiss, a manager for Coutts bank. Mr Purkiss was the brother-in-law of Dr A. Crabtree. As a young man Ron Palmer saw an elderly gentleman struggling with a sack of potatoes he offered to carry the sack for him. Thus started his friendship with Mr Purkiss. He was later left the estate of Mr. Purkiss including the Louis Vuitton Trunk.
