Long Description
I found this trunk... it shows its age for sure. The locks say PAT JUL 972 and the Hardware on top says PAT MAR 188 I believe. There is a picture on the inside of the lid (mostly blue) of a picture of a little girl and flowers, looks as if she saluting another picture. Also is looks as if there's a shelf missing from inside. The side handles are not complete, both locks (not middle) DO work. There's all 4 wheels in tact underneath.
