Ok, I am quite new to these trunks, but couldn't resist when I came across several recently. I got two of these hunch back trunks, three flat metal trunks, an English trunk/railway basket, and a wardrobe trunk. This one intrigues me as I cannot find matches to the hardware on the lid. I have found some that closely resemble but not a match. Could anyone point me in the right direction for the hardware? There are #1 Taylor patent latches on it, if that helps.
The binding and more than likely the hardware was made by J.H. Sessions and sons.

hope this helps.
