    Hi,

    I just bought this unusual linen clad hat box at a Brooklyn NYC estate.
    Lock reads "GO" and there's a copper plaque that reads "Boite Chapeaux" and "systeme" and some other words I can't make out (yet).

    Upon an internet search, all I could find were similar hat boxes by Louis Vuitton!

    Mine doesn't seem to have the LV monogram on any surfaces, but........

    Can anyone advise me?
    Was "GO" a hardware maker for Louis Vuitton?
    Were all his trunks and chests monogrammed?
    Help, please!

    Thanks for looking,

    Nessa

      My guess is that it is not a louis vuitton hat box -- there were a few fine makers of trunks in France in this time period. I believe he started to monogram his hardware very early on. Still a beautiful trunk...
