Nice Refinished Antique Dome Top Steamer Trunk With Working Lock & Key and Tray This is a cute refinished little dome top steamer trunk or stagecoach trunk with patent dates on some of the hardware. The front latches are patented, "Pat Jul 9 72," which refers to July 9, of 1872. Some of the cap metal on the slat boards have patent dates. It looks to be, "Pat Mar 16 80", which refers to March 16 of 1880. The wooden components consist of pine base wood and oak or ash outer slat boards. The wooden surfaces have been sanded and finished with three coats of polyurethane by Minwax. T are some typical nicks and dings in the wood. These beauty marks are part of this trunk's long history and give to it's overall antique appearance. The original lock was missing, so we have put a working replacement lock on this trunk that comes with a key. are the trunk's measurements: from left to right across the front is 26 inches, from floor to top of dome is approximately 19 inches, and from front edge to back edge is 15 inches. The side handles were missing, so we have replaced them with nice Amish made black leather stitched straps. All of our replacement leather for these beautiful trunks that we refinish comes from an Amish man in an Amish community in Pennsylvania. This would make a very nice storage chest for collectibles or any personal belongings. You might want to keep your teddy bear or doll collection on and within this trunk. Maybe you could display it with the lid open and place your collectibles on the lid and some inside on the tray. Some of our past customers collect Civil War items and store them in trunks similar to this one. Look around your home to find that perfect spot for this little dome top. Going to the inside of this nice little dome top, we have first of all created a tray that rests at the top edge. We have also topcoated the interior wood and tray with two coats of clearcoat. T is a nice trunk maker's style picture fastened to the underside of the top for you to view. When we received the trunk, the top needed re-fastening at the hinges, so we have done so and made the lid much sturdier than it was. At the exterior bottom, the four metal casters are present. T is some normal wear and we have taken the time to finish the exterior bottom. Doing so makes the trunk nice and clean for placement anyw inside your home.
