    I have this old steamer trunk that I am told came over from Ireland with the immigrants in the late 1800s/early 1900s. I know it has been painted over, etc. Anybody know anything about it? Also, what do you think it's value is...or more just sentimental value?
    Thanks for any info.

      American made trunk, from around 1880's to 1890's, thousands of american made trunks were sent over seas to be bought by Immigrants, that came to america. sorry but in this condition very little value, needs to be refinished, greendog.
