Certain features set other trunks apart. The use of high quality brass on this German trunk is an example of how makers up the quality of the piece. The third pic is of the back hinge. Fourth is the guide...

It is extremely hard even to discover simple German patents prior to ww2." To the victors go the spoils of war"

Very nice find T-man.
Nice brass hardware there, Trunkman! I wish there was more brass on mine, that I'm refurbishing now, but only area is the little round lock mech and two brats on either side of it. Well I let time slip away yesterday and made huge headway but still have a ways to go yet. Check it out when you get a minute.
