    Found this at a flea market and liked the shape. I have several trunks, but have no idea what this was used for. It is 25 inches tall, 25 inches deep and 18 inches wide.. It is covered is some leathery type material and lined with a very thin cotton material. What was it used for and what era did it come from. Thanks for any info.

      Definitely a specialty trunk, maybe for a musical instrument. Probably from around 1920 or so.
