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
