    Saw this & loved it! I love pieces with a story, and it
    Seems like this one has lots! I don't see any name or
    Markings of a manufacturer, but a patent sticker on removable drawer, and patent dates on locks. Can anyone tell me about
    This trunk? My bonus was when I opened it, it had 1930's chicago newspapers in it :)

      Does this look like your trunk?

      It does! It has the hinge arm on right side, it is missing some hardware on inside left, but I can find the holes according to the diagram!

      beautiful trunk -- unusual locks -- looks like there is some writing on them -- usually that information offers more clues on to where your trunk was manf
