Depends on the actual zipper. Does it have anything written on it?

Currently in my wallet, the contents are...a few loose threads from the manufacture created from years of wear and tear, germs(I'm sure) air (since air gets in wherever there is space.  All other items that were in it are scattered all over my dresser wher they were emptied for the anticipated arrival of my new wallet!

They still used both. Footlockers are usually plastic or fiberglass now. I had two when I went to Iraq last year. I also had a few duffel bags. Footlockers are mainly used in the living quarters, but the new ones are more water proof and durable then duffel's are, so they are being used alot more. Footlockers are more expensive though, then duffel bags and are not usually issued. If the trunk you found was metal, it might not had been a footlocker. You  may have found a storage container for equipment or supplies or a field desk.  I have never seen a metel footlocker just wooden ones and the new ones..  But I have seen large metal trunks, that are used for kitchen equipment, and for sensitive equipment like radios.

Most steack knives now are made of insect resistant woods.  Usually a mix of plastics in there with wood.  But really old knives made from wood that has already been infected with termites would easily have some larva wriggling around in there.

Slbell68 is right - down is not good for backpacking.  Look for a fiberfill bag with a stuff sack.  I got mine at EMS about 15 years ago and it's fine.\n\nYou want a bag that weighs about 2.5 pounds, no more than 3 pounds and that squishes down to about the size of a small cushion.\n\nLink below is to articles I have written about gear with a link to Sierra Trading Post.  This place has a wide range of products and they guarantee everything they sell.\n\nNo lie - my hiking boots fell apart and I glued them and even though they were three years old - Sierra took them back and refunded my money.  I buy everything from them - quality and customer service are top-notch.

You might want to consider the extremely effective "zipper" technique.  Don't unzip!!

You could remove the zipper and sew on a new one, or take it to a dry cleaners, they can put on a new zipper.

Zippo lighter cases are usually made of brass and coated with a variety of materials, most are chrome plated, some are silver or gold plated, some are just polished brass, and some are solid gold or silver. Because of wartime shortages during WWII, Zippo was forced to fabricate lighter cases out of steel instead of the traditional brass. To keep them from rusting the cases were painted black, and the finish was baked on giving the lighter a "black crackle" look. The inserts are made of nickel silver. Zippo lighters can cost between $13 to more than $3000 U.S. dollars, depending on the rarity and materials used in the given item.\n\nThe 1999 Millennium Edition Collectible of the Year features Zippo’s inaugural use of TVD titanium coating, which is produced by the same technology used by NASA to protect the Space Shuttle, and authenticated by an exclusive bottom stamp.\n\nCheck the sites below for a lot more information and pictures of Zippo lighters.

The ones I'm familiar with are made out of hard vulcanized rubber. I'm confused - do you want to find brake pads or the stuff they're made of (not formed into brake pads)?\n\nThe site below has brake pads for most every kind of bike:

Not for sure what they are exactly made of,my guess would be laminated steel with a polyfoam in the middle.You can go the website iamgirl suggested or go to www.metpar.com.They have info on them as well.
