This steamer trunk has a solid construction. The wood is wrapped on the outside in tine and then reinforced with Oak strips and decorative metal. It has a domed "camel" top.




Steamer Trunk in Oak and Tin
At one time there were leather handles on either side. Now missing.
Decorative Metal on Steamer Trunk
The latches on either side are in good shape as are the hinges.
Steamer Trunk Original Lock
 The original lock is all there and probably would work if a key could be located!

Top View of Steamer Trunk
 The trunk has been washed in wood soap to remove "musty" smell common to these old trunks. It has been aired in fresh air and sunshine.

Inside Steamer Trunk
 The lid is supported with a hinge on the right side. Paper lines the trunk and may be original to the trunk. The lid has a picture pasted in which I do not believe to be original. I have left everything as I found it. The new owner can make decisions about what needs to be refinished or left alone.
Steamer Trunk Front View Lid Raised
There may have been a divider between the lid and the lower section to store items in the two small upper divided sections of the lid.

Primitive Immigrant Trunk

This trunk has been around for a long time! It still has the remnants of a US customs tag and an old address. It is missing the front escutcheon but the lock operates. At some point, someone felt the need to "antique" the finish.
 Notice the spelling of "Amerika!"
Back Side of Immigrant Trunk Showing Hinges
 It has cast iron reinforcement straps.
Remnants of Customs Tag

 The trunk has a slightly rounded camel top and forged iron handles on either end that are original.

Upper Lid Lock
I found a key that operates the lock. It is not original but it does work. The top loop of the key is broken in half but it is still easy enough to grasp to turn the lock.
Immigrant Trunk Showing Metal Reinforcement and Iron Handle

In real life, the trunk has this mustard brown color as shown below. The pictures above were taken on a cloudy day but I used them because I thought they should some of the detail better.
Immigrant Trunk with Original Hardware
