    Antique trunk, believed to be from around 1875
    I’m looking for details about this as it is new to my possession. Online searches see it as a Saratoga Steamer trunk, however I cannot see any with the same ‘vine’ style embossed tin. I would love to know any details regarding this style trunk and how to clean it up to bring back the beautiful original details.

      Most l9cks have patent dates on the backside..this may help date your trunk

      Thank you for your response, hmm sadly I cannot see any date on the back of the lock, I took a pic of it and zoomed in to double check, can’t post a pic in comments? It has like a sort of circle on it (sliced up a bit like a pizza) if that’s anything interesting!? Thanks again :)
