    Just looking to get help to ID and Maybe an age. I'm not really sure if I want to leave it as is or restore it.

      This is a very common style trunk made by hundreds of trunk makers at the time, the lock was made by the eagle lock co. common style used for decades, the front latches I believe were patented in 1893 by O.D. Hunter, that would put your trunk around early 1890's to early 1900's, without a makers label hard to say who the maker was.

      Thank you I did find a new clue, on the handle (leather)was stamped 30 D 31 but the D was half the size of the numbers.
