Here is a beautiful camel
back trunk. I call this a "camel back" because the rounded top is
higher in the center than the ends. Others may call them a dome top or
round top trunk. The smooth metal exterior and all the fancy metal
trim and hardware are complete and original. The hardwood slats have
beautiful wood grain and are refinished with a tung oil finish. The
metal is all in great shape with no major damage except that of which
you would expect from a used 100 year old trunk. The trunk lock is a
Yale and Towne Lock which was popular on better made trunks, and it
dates to about the 1880's - 1920's (no key) The trunk does have it's
original and unique tray. This is a Great Antique Rustic looking
trunk. This one is a good size measuring 34" inches in length, 19.5"
inches wide and 25" inches tall (this measurement is to the top of the
"dome"). The leather handles have not been replaced to give the trunk
the original look. The metal bottom is very clean, repainted, and has
the original wood slats and metal rollers. The interior has been
refinished and can be used to store many items, or the trunk is great
for display. The trunk dates in the 1880's to 1920's time period.
