    Picked up this 1880's 1890's Beveled top flat top trunk the other week. Measures 30" long by 19 deep x 22 tall. No maker name. The exterior metal is practically flawless as far as dings and dents etc. go. All sessions die-cast trims with # 2 latches. Alligator metal cover. Interior foundation is complete structure wise. Has all four working wheels but the two hinges are broken, which is not the end of the world. Yes it needs some cleaning, but I just love it, being my first one, and in this shape makes it even better!
