CURVED AIR Large Metal Storage Box (FOR SALE: One Metal Box, sized 42" long, 16" wide & 10" deep. One not-so-careful owner. More air miles on it than you have, for sure. This unique curio comes directly from Curved Air drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa as a genuine piece of Rock History. It apparently used to belong to his seafaring brother, but was soon acquired for the task of carrying various small parts of a drum kit & associated ephemera around the world. This box, has 'Curved Air' not only stencilled on the side but also enhanced with some stencilled Gaffa tape [the ultimate musician's friend]. This box was used through the early tours including the tour on which Curved Air Live was recorded at Bristol Polytechnic & at Cardiff University in December 1974. It was still in use right up to the early days of the current reformation in 2009. Not a bad innings, all told, so Florian did the right thing in dispossessing his brother way back in 1970. As can be expected of something that has lived its life in the back of vans and been through aircraft baggage handling on more occasions than it would care to recount, it is far from pristine, but the clasps still work and all the scratches and dents were earned fairly and squarely by life on The Road. This metal box had attended most Curved Air gigs and recording sessions since 1970 and yet still remains in one piece as a treasury chest of historical wonder. Lest the 'CURVED AIR' on the outside of the box be missed, Florian has also AUTOGRAPHED the inside of the lid and provided a hand written letter of provenance to go with your purchase. Ok, you can't play it, but you know where it's been and I'll bet that you would have liked to have been there with it as it travelled the world in the seventies. A one off with impeccable provenance. A never to be repeated piece of Rock history that also contains a usefully large volume of air that you can use inventively with the filling of your choice!)

Complete with hand written letter of provenance from Florian Pilkington-Miksa.
