| One of a kind! Never Seen Another Trunk Like This One. This unique antique trunk is not a flat top, dome top or roll top, but has more of an arch. The body of the trunk is of pine while there is a veneer of thinner wood which we believe is American Chestnut or Walnut! Also, it has 4 wheels which front to back (as opposed to normally found facing side to side)! Due to the 13" height we believe that this trunk was made specifically to be placed under a bed in a ships stateroom. The wheels would lend themselves to allow the trunk to be easily slid out from under the bed and used. Has new leather handles and end caps. Original lift out tray.

| RARE AND ONE-OF-A-KIND FOR THE ANTIQUE TRADITIONALIST OR PROFESSIONAL HOUSE RESTORER! SIX-POINTED STARS of DAVID in the Interior Paper Design! In over 9 years restoring trunks we have never had another one as well preserved in original condition as this one! We think this trunk was purchased back in the 1870's or 1880's and then put into a dry attic for over 130 years until re-discovered! Everything on this trunk is original. The black japanning used on all metal parts is in a perfect original state and is georgeous. We just lightly sanded the edges of the top lid oak strap clamps to give some contrast and it came out beautiful. All of the oak straps have the light goldish-yellow tone from the original shellac finish put on over a century ago! The pressed tin filigree floral design covering the exterior body is in perfect original condition with absolute zero oxidation to the original gold and black paint - Stunning is the only word! The leather handles are original! Unique front flip lock latches with dated hardware of July 9 1872 Opening the trunk lid shows the absolutely brilliant, sharp and clear, beautiful original Victorian Lithographs on the inside lid and top door covering of the liftout tray! Magnificent with no color loss whatsoever! Most remarkable was the well preserved thin paper lining found on the inside of the trunk and liftout tray which normally in most if not all cases has been so badly aged or stained by moisture it needs to be removed. However due to the extraordinary condition we were able to seal and save all of this inside paper which has a dark goldish yellow color with darker gold "Six-Pointed Stars of David" as the design! Perfect for someone with a Jewish Heritage! |

Stunningly beautiful is the only way to describe this trunk. Working Lock but no Key.
