Leather covered trunk

Description

This is a great leather trunk that I know nothing about. It is missing the inner tray which most likely had the makers label on the bottom. The exterior shows the wear of use including the remainder of a railway sticker. The interior, with exception on the missing tray, is in immaculate condition. The lather straps are solid with no nicks, fraying, or any signs of wear.  The hinges are solid and the ornate latches work perfectly. There is no key for the lock. If anyone can give me a bit of insight as to who made this, when it was made, and what it might be worth I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Akamimi 501
