I believe it is a antique doll trunk 1800's- early 1900's . I have seen many of these in doll collections ,very beautiful .

Re: Manikin, Thank you for your comment/info I've also heard of toy trunk.
Love it!I want that one in the link with all the dolls and their things!
Re:Celiene sorry I don't have the truck with the dolls someone else sent me the link it's on Pinterest.
I have a regular size trunk almost exactly like it. I also collect samples. Would you let me know if you are ever interested in selling it?
My trunk was passed down through the family. Sadly, I know very little about it.
Thanks,
Mary
Re: Mubursby,Sorry but I don't plain on selling this trunk, but thanks.
Wonderful salesman trunk. Some also refer to these as toy trunks or doll trunks. It's fairly rare to see the complete interior and in such beautiful condition. I have several in my collection, but not a tin covered one like this. There are still many of this type of trunk available today, but most I come across do not have the wonderful original interior as yours does. I have on with the same identical hardware, bit mine is covered in striped canvas.
