Steamer Immigrant Trunk in Tin and Oak

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.
