Antique Trunk #734

Beautiful 1880s Medium Size Trunk with Working Eagle Lock & Key

This is a great trunk from the 1880s. The wood tone is a warm color with a lot of personality.

The craftsmanship makes this a real treasure. It’s both well-built and beautiful, making it a useful addition to any space. This is a great size trunk to fit in that smaller area.

Outside

1. The hardware is original and in great shape.
2. The Eagle lock works great and comes with a key. It’s etched “EAGLE LOCK CO TERRYVILLE CT.”
3. The top has a slight curve, offering a great useable surface.
4. The replacement leather handles and leather straps are from brettunsvillage.com, while the handle hardware is original. We also replaced the leather tabs since the original ones were dried out from age.
5. The built-in metal center strap passes under the hardwood slats, offering more stability for safe travel. Remember, trunks were used for travel since suitcases weren’t available yet.
6. The top corners are protected with beautifully contoured hardware that wraps around the corners for extra protection.
7. The hardwood slats are also protected with classic hardware.

Inside

1. The inside offers a useful storage area.
2. The inside lid stay is original and works great.
