Possible patent that may apply.
I would say early 1900's to 1920 give or take a bit, most people call this a flat top, looks to have a slight arch to it, not much of a flat top person myself, but I really like this one because of the curved tin work rather then the usual straight bands, gives it a unique look, also has a nice brass lock, If there's not a makers label in it hard to say who made it, very nice, greendog.
I can tell you that your trunk was owned by Charles Emerson Strange
