    Ok, I am quite new to these trunks, but couldn't resist when I came across several recently. I got two of these hunch back trunks, three flat metal trunks, an English trunk/railway basket, and a wardrobe trunk. This one intrigues me as I cannot find matches to the hardware on the lid. I have found some that closely resemble but not a match. Could anyone point me in the right direction for the hardware? There are #1 Taylor patent latches on it, if that helps.

      The binding and more than likely the hardware was made by J.H. Sessions and sons.

      The Sessions link above was previously posted by Jim Cardoza on collectors weekly.
      hope this helps.
