Antique Steamer Trunk-Dome Top-metal & wood bands-inside tray-circa 1890-1910
The large interior tray is intact, and one of the lid-compartment doors is also intact. Note the decorative panel inside the lid, which is vibrant in color and unblemished. The interior of the trunk has the strong smell of cedar, so I'm assuming that tray construction is of cedar wood underneath the papered covering. Sorry but there is no key.
The lid hinges close just slightly "off-center, " but the trunk does close and latch securely with care. Can't see a maker's mark, but labels (where legible) indicate travel to NY, so assume it is of American origin. Overall, a very refinish-able project, and a fine example of dome-topped steamer trunk originals! GENERAL NOTES: Some people who "watch" items forever would be better off to use the "ask a question" option and make an offer. Likewise, I offer frequent markdowns (on individual items) as well as "quantity discounts" on BIN orders of 3+ items.
If an item is not currently on "markdown" please don't hesitate to make fair offers/best offers because we can always negotiate; however, WHEN AN ITEM IS ALREADY MARKED DOWN, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BEST OFFER FEATURE LIGHTLY. This isn't "Pawn Stars" and I won't accept offers of "half of the BIN price" when that BIN has already been marked down 15% or more. That being said, if you do make an offer on an already marked-down price, please keep in mind that my counter-offer is generally final the first time I make it.
