Rock, Will (William George Rakauskas). Will Rock/Thurston touring trunk. Large traveling trunk from the Will Rock/Thurston show. Exterior painted bright orange and stenciled in black on the front panel with the name "Will Rock." Inside the lid is the text "No 18. 8 Glass Table Tops." A paper label on one side of the crate identifies the trunk as the property of Charles "Kirk" Kirkam of Los Angeles. Also inside the trunk is a large wooden birdcage with roller blind bottom, likely used in the Birds from Nowhere trick. Cage may not be from the Rock show, and is in poor condition and need of repair. Trunk measures 33 x 22 x 25". Trunk considerably worn, chipped, and cracked from professional use and age, but still a fascinating relic of the last incarnation of the Thurston show presented by Will Rock.
