    This trunk has been in my family home for as long as I can remember. I understand that it was my great grandmothers, used when she sailed from England to canada many years ago...but am not 100% sure.

    They came with nothing much, so I am assuming this is a run of the mill trunk from this era (?) but am not sure. There are no obvious identifying labels or stamps.

    Does anyone know who this was made by, and if it would fit that era?

    Thanks so much

      Hi there.
      We have the exact same model here. We live in Denmark.
      It's from Union Trunk and Luggage co. from Canada.
      Blue vintage steamer or something like that.
      Comparing to equal models my guess is, that it's from around 1920
