Recently inherited this, trying to figure out Maker if anyone recognizes it (I don’t see a name anywhere).
Unfortunately I don’t have the key, anyone know what type of lock it is so I can try to find a replacement lock or the name of the key I need to search for?
This is my favorite trunk ever, lots of great details.
Thank you!
Welcome to CW. Im not a trunk expert, but...Are you ready..its called a trunk lock! Technically you would call it a hasp plate lock? Yours looks similar to the Eagle company?
Here's some examples, so you can see what keys will look like.

Thank you so much! Obviously I’m new to trunks ???? I really appreciate your message, thank you and happy holidays!
Wonderful packing trunk!! If you want to acquire a key, look on the backside of the lock hasp and there should be a number engraved. Go online and look for a barrel key with the that particular number.
I have a large canvas covered packing trunk that's similar to yours. Feel free to check it out.
