    I recently bought this trunk at a local antiques place. (probably paid too much for it) There has been some restoration work done on it as the lid hinges look fairly new and the paper lining has been scrapped off of the bottom of the trunk. I did some research about the dating of trunks and found that this trunk was probably made before 1910. If anyone has any kind of information about this trunk, I would love to hear it.
    Thanks!

    -I only have a frontward facing computer camera so I apologize for the lack of quality in the pictures, I'll try to get better ones soon.
