      Your trunks looks like it was made around the late 1890's or thereabout. It is a standard flat top trunk. There were many companies making these models of trunks at the time. It looks to be in rough shape but would be a candidate to refinish if you wished. Hope this helps a bit...

      T-mon, thought you would be on top of this. Looks like a great project to restore.

      Do you mean makers name? Without a label there is little chance of finding out what company made it.
