    I found this in the trash. Someone gave me a treasure.
    I'm still looking for more information.
    It's worth?
    Who made it?

      There were multiple manufacturers of dresser/bureau trunks,Frank Stallman was one of the prominent makers.Homer Young and Geo Bains were some others.Here is some advertising.Made in the early 1900s.Hope this helps shed some light,thanks for the post.

      Oh cool, I would love to find one of those in the trash, or even at a reasonable price. It's hard to tell from the pics but it doesn't look too rough. I'm afraid this isn't the place to get a value though, more of a show and tell thingie.
