My mom recently went to New York to help clear out the house she grew up in because it was sold. She brought back her dad's old travel trunk. I really liked it, so I took a ton of pictures. I researched it a bunch online because I wanted to know it's true age & who made it. Unfortunately there's no maker's label or mark on it to tell who made it & when. From what I researched, this type of trunk was made between 1880-1920. It has a bunch of shipping labels on it & one of them is dated 3/2/45. The lock itself is marked with two patent dates (JUNE 13 1882 & DEC 6 1892) & the lock maker's name & town (EAGLE LOCK CO. TERRYVILLE CT). There is also the number 30 imprinted on the lock (maybe the serial number?).
