Steamer Chest

By roycelaw, 24 June, 2007
Description

This is the exterior "back" of the trunk

         

This is the tag on the trunk marking the manufacturer. It 'appears' to be  "American beauty Rose Trunks made by The D. Erose Trunk Co. Los Angeles.

 

This is the interior of the trunk. The metal bar holding the drawer closed has a simple wing nut to tighten the bar length after each end is inserted into the slot. There are four wooden hangers, two are painted and the other two simply wood. The bottom compartment pulls out and has a leather hinged lid with leather straps and snaps to hold it shut. The upper compartments are drawers.

This is a stencil of the original owner. I also have ANOTHER trunk, (not quite like this one, that has "LT. S. W. BURTON" stenciled on it.
