    Just brought this home from an antique warehouse... super curious to learn more about it. Any ideas on age? It's going to store my shoes :)

    UPDATE: I posted a shot of very worn enscription on the lock. From what I can decipher: ____ Lock Co. 1896 CT, USA.

      Cool trunk. We have many fine trunk experts here who can give you a good estimate on age.
      I am going to guess 1905. They all seem to be from 1880-1920s.
