    Found one image similar, said it was a 1800s steamer. Can't find a mark, metal covered except wooden bracer beams, leather accents, some missing, one leather handle. On wheels but don't think they are original, different metal coloration and plastic wheels. Paper lining, falling apart, one removable compartment, unsure if original. Had 1950s newspaper in bottom when purchased. Metal findings, kinda beat up. Musty smell, no apearant wood rot. Haven't found markings, not sure where to look. Any leads/info welcome. Hoping to have fixed up eventually.
