    Green in colour coating in a sort of glued canvas.
    Leather handles and straps
    Beige paper lining
    Likely pine (I think)
    Joints taped with a fabric tape
    I dont believe the latch was the original, removed before cleaning and unfortunately had to scrape all the paper lining as it smelled quite bad.
    Wondering what company, and what year if possible!?? And any other insider information.
    I have no information on its history.

      Great looking flat top trunk from the late 1800's. Not sure of the manufacturer as this was a popular design manufactured by many trunk makers back then. It is American made though.
