Description

The inside of the trunk has a label saying it was manufactured by H.C. Faber and son Company, yet the outside lock says it was made by WH Newton and Son. I have been unable to pinpoint any more information on the trunk, other than it was once owned by the Eddie Hill Theatre group. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
