Description Old wooden trunk.Inside has white paper with blue flowers. Lid contains pictures and what looks to be a place cut out for a mirror. Leather straps on outside of trunk missing. Front contains three locks, broken. Very detailed work on lid and sides. I picked it up at a farmer's market in LaGrange, Kentucky for $25. I don't know the history nor the age. Would be interested in learning more about the trunk and its appraisal.
