This trunk is from family homestead believed to be from mid to late 1800s. Registered trademark of gold medallion depicting 3 elephants trunks holding three steamer trunks. Anyone recognize trademark or able to establish age?

Thank you Antiquerose...mystery solved...homestead is in Canada.
Wonderful flat top packing trunk!! This would be more like the late 1800's. I have several flat top trunks like this in my collection, but not one by this maker. Great family piece!
Nice work on solving this mystery Rose!!!
