    This is very old and needs some tlc - Not sure what to do with its. keep it as it is, sell it or try and restore it.. Anyone with any knowledge of this trunk... I have not seen any others that exactly look like this ? Its from UK I think and is very light - The peeling material is a hessian covered fabric !

      It is difficult to see this trunk for comment. The pic will not magnify for some reason. It is a flat top made about the 1910 era. Can't seee the hardware close up which would be helpful for a more detailed evaluation. Because you say it is fabric covered, I expect it would restore or refinish nicely. It could be lots of fun to do. Good luck.
