    My family inherited this vintage steamer trunk.
    Markings where labels were on right side viewing this photo
    Have to inspect it better
    Belonged to my in-laws family who were born in 1890
    A trunk historian thought it may have been purchased from a Sears or Ward catalog made by MM Secor or Crouch and Fitzgerald. Anyone have an idea? Thank you!

      Welcome to CW. You upload up to 4 pictures. Zooming in I cannot read any markings in your photo. Not a trunk expert, but your trunk looks similar to this one...hope that helps

      Thank you for the link!
      Here are a few more images of the trunk.
      My husband had to remove trim and part of door frame to get it down from his parents attic.
      Not sure how they got it up!
      Going to look for any markings or more info when he brings it back.
      We may want to restore at this point.
