THE ORIGINAL SOLID BRASS EXCELSIOR LOCK IS DATED NOV. 1ST 1864, IT IS WORKING BUT NO KEY IS AVAILABLE. THIS PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED TRUNK IS VERY SOLID AND COMES WITH A TRAY TRIMMED TO MATCH. APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS ARE 36.5+" WIDE AT THE SLATS X 22" DEEP X 25+" HIGH. THE TRUNK HAS BEEN NICELY RESTORED WITH AN EXCELLENT FURNITURE GRADE FINISH, AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR SOME WEAR AND SIGNS OF AGE WHICH WERE LEFT UNIMPROVED. THE COLOR IS RICH, AND EVEN. THE CASEWOOD APPEARS TO BE BASSWOOD OR TULIP POPLAR, WITH OAK SLATS. THE INTERIOR IS TASTEFULLY RESTORED WITH PAPER AND IS TRIMMED, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE HARDWARE IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR A NEW SET OF AUTHENTIC STITCHED LEATHER HANDLES AND A LID LIFTER. THIS CHEST IS VERY SOLID AND WELL BUILT AND SHOULD HOLD UP FOR YEARS TO COME.
