Flat top trunk

By billiebryant, 26 September, 2023
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.

These steamer trunks tend to date from the last quarter of the 19th Century (1875-1900), their flat top design allowed them to be stacked in train baggage cars and ship's holds. Values for them in the rough currently is weak, generally under $50.00.
