Leather covered box About 22" W x 11.5" h, very early nails, maybe more of a box than a trunk.
Keyhole cover says "patent".
Any insights from trunk aficionados appreciated.
Have had many but not like this.

This is really great! I love it
Thanks.
Very beautiful early trunk -- perhaps 1820's or earlier depending on construction. really wonderful brass studding -- top quality trunk at its time. I have a somewhat similar one in size and shape we have dated to be in the late 1770's or around there -- that date was based on the early "rose head" hand made nails in it. This one is a bit more ornate. A gorgeous example of craftsmanship for this era -- thanks for the post!
Incredible trunk and in such amazing condition!! I've wanted one of these for years. But, my wife says if I bring more trunks home, I'll need to get rid of some or build an addition on the house to hold them all. LOL!! Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite things I've seen here :)
