Got this from my mother in law after she passed a way. I can't find anything like it. Anybody know anything? Thanks!

Beautiful maybe a hat trunk from 19850-19010?,we are from Boston.
We took it to several different antique shows and they said it was for hats or maybe made for someone who traveled alot with their drums. I've never seen a trunk like it, and i cant find much about the company who made it. I hope someone knows something. :/
I should also mention that its stands about 4t tall.
