    This steamer trunk belonged to my grandparents who came to America from Sicily. I'm trying to identify it so I can get replacement parts, and possibly a new key for the lock. The closest looking results I get online are by searching "Taylor Steamer Trunk". Anyone able to help?

      Looks like a standard 1910 era flat top trunk. There are a couple of good internet sites that sell trunks and replacement parts -- although the trunk came from Sicily it looks to be American made,,,, as many were sold overseas at the time only to return fully laden. Type in "antique flat top trunk" in google images and you will see many examples of this type of trunk. (This is not a Taylor trunk as you may have already surmised) Welcome to collectors weekly and thanks for the post.

      Looks like my trunk try looking up Drucker & Co. 1897 or look for a label in the trunk of a lion sitting on a trunk saying "Strength & Beauty" on top & "The Best Trunks Bear This Label" on bottom.
