据报道,这只箱子已经有130年历史,乌克兰东部一对老夫妻多年来一直用这只古董LV装玉米,不过,他们其实并不知道这还是件古董宝贝。
Aleksandr and Aleksandra Sokhranych from the tiny village of Mokhnach had no idea they were in possession of a historical artifact. They treated the trunk, which was branded with the letters“LV” on its sides, as just a handy item that was good for keeping their grain dry.
Aleksandr和Aleksandra Sokhranych住在一个叫Mokhnach的小村子里,他们完全不知道自己还有件文物。对于他们来说,这件外部标满字母“LV”的箱子就是件趁手的容器,用来装谷物,还能防潮,非常方便。

而且他们一用就是几十年,直到一个稍微懂点奢侈品行当的亲戚提醒了他们。不过,在得知这只箱子是件古董之后,这对老夫妻没想着把它卖了,而是捐给了当地的博物馆进行保管。
Museum Director Maksim Bulakh told RT’s Ruptly video agency that he had checked the trunk’s authenticity at a Louis Vuitton boutique in Kiev. He learned that it was likely produced in early 1880s and cost at least $11,000. This would have been a huge sum for the two pensioners, but the artifact could actually fetch a lot more at auction, considering that it may have a pretty exciting history behind it. Some Louis Vuitton trunks have previously been sold by auctioneers for more than $100,000.
博物馆馆长Maksim Bulakh告诉“今日俄罗斯”全球视频新闻社,他已经在基辅的LV专卖店验证了皮箱的真伪。他了解到,这只箱子可能是在19世纪80年代初期生产的,至少值11,000美元(约77,644元人民币)。Aleksandr和Aleksandra已经到了领养老金的年纪,对于他们而言,这笔钱数目可不小,考虑到箱子背后还可能有一段激动人心的历史,如果拍卖的话,价格可能会更高些。有些LV行李箱就是以超过10万美元的价格拍卖出售的。

据Bulakh推测,这个箱子后面还有很多故事:
Bulakh believes that the item may have originated on board a Russian imperial train, which derailed in the area in 1888. Some 30 people were killed in the crash, while Tsar Alexander III was said to have supported the roof of a carriage on his shoulders to allow his family escape. The local peasants, including the ancestors of the Sokhranychs, helped with the rescue effort and were gifted the passengers’ belongings as a token of gratitude.
Bulakh认为,这只箱子可能来自于1888年曾经在该地区出轨的一辆俄罗斯皇家列车。大约30人在那场事故中丧生,当时,沙皇亚历山大三世还用肩膀撑着车顶,让家人逃生。当地的农民参与了救援,其中就有这对夫妻的祖先,乘客们送给了他们一些随身物品表示感谢。

但这也只是其中一种可能。Bulakh说,这只箱子也有可能是前苏联某个士兵在二战期间获得的的战利品,也有可能是沙俄时期某个富贵人家的,因为某些未知的原因被弄丢了。
把箱子捐给博物馆后,Aleksandr和Aleksandra就找了个不锈钢大锅来装鸡饲料了,效果和之前的LV行李箱也差不多。
