I found this at a yard sale. There are no labels, tags, etc to show anything about it. If anyone can provide any info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

That is a beautiful trunk. Especially that colorful inside.
Thank you fortapache, I think it is also. Just attempting to get a little info on it
It might be a bit difficult to get specific info on this trunk.. due in part to the maker not putting their label on it. A nice dome top trunk 1890's early 1900. A standard shape for it's day with hardware that would have been purchased from a supplier. The interior is very lovely and in good condition which is rare for most trunks this age. Hope this helps a little...
