Antique Trunk #701

Unique Clinton Wall Trunk with Working Lock & Key

Clinton Wall Trunk Mfg. Co. designed this trunk so it can be placed against a wall or even at the foot of a bed and still open. The unique hinge includes the manufacturer’s name “Clinton Wall Trunk Mfg. Co.” of Clinton Mass., the patent date of “Feb25 1890” with an L (left) and R (right).

The unique hinge allows the trunk to be opened straight up so there is no need to pull the trunk away from the wall to open it. This style of trunk was also called “space savers.” You’ll notice there are no rear hinges.
