This is a beautiful little metal covered trunk. These smaller trunks are hard to find as not many were made and fewer have survived through the years. I don't restore too many metal covered trunks, but this one is much nicer than most I have seen, so I couldn't pass it up. The hardwood slats (probably hickory, oak, or elm) have beautiful wood grain and are refinished with a smooth satin finish. The metal is all in great shape with no rust holes, missing pieces or other damage. The leather handles are replacements to look like the originals. The metal bottom is very clean, repainted, and has the original wood slats and metal rollers. With it's compact size, it's present day uses are many. The lock is an older style which means that this was probably built around 1880. The lock mechanism is original but unfortunately we do not have the key. This trunk is now ready to go to your home to be a wonderful conversation piece. Ca.1880-1895 Dimensions 27"L X 15"W X 16"H
