    I got this trunk at an estate sale. It has some great looking old stickers from Cunard Line Cruises. It also says S.P. Wallingford (Wichita, Kansas) on the side. Not sure if that has something to do with the Army or just someones initials.
    It also has around 3 shipping receipts/tags attached to the handle.

    I looked up a few things about S.P wallingford. all I found so far is:

    Apparently the owner of the S.P. Wallingford Grain Company

    Kansas grain and feed association past president and sunflower award winner 1922-1923

    mentioned in a federal trade commission report on grain exporters 1922

    1921 membership to the wichita country club

      Thanks scandinavian_pieces, thats what I thought. It has history of two different owners on it, not the fanciest trunk but great amounts of historical items.
