    Garage sale pick up at 20$. Dimensions are 30" long 15" wide and 19" tall in the center. Looks like its embossed tin plated with shell like pattern. Probably a ladies trunk. Overall it's in pretty rough shape but has not been changed from original state as far as I can see. Both leather handles are missing. I'm looking for a rough estimate as far as date and model/style.

      The previous owner said it belonged to her grandfather and could potentially date back to the civil war.
