    I'm trying to find out the value of my mother-in-law's old trunk. It's 36 inches long there are numbers on the handle (I can only make out 405) One side is missing the handle and the one with the numbers is broke also. I has a working key with it. My mother in law believes she has had it for at least 60 years. any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Standard canvas covered flat top from around 1910 with hardwood slats and nice interior tray. This style and type were made by many makers at the time. Not high on value -- local classifieds will give you and idea of your market area. The numbers on the handles were probably parts numbers of little significance. Hope this helps a little...
