I am looking for any information anyone has on this trunk. I know when I open the trunk it has removable trays. I am looking for timeframe of the trunk, condition (it just appears to be dirty, the inside is clean). All I have found about Haskell Brothers is they made leather trunks.
You have a canvas covered trunk from about 1890 - 1910. The nice part about this trunk is the hardware on it. All of the latches and clamps and corner pieces are made of cast iron pieces which is the mark of a high quality trunk. Also a nice solid brass lock. Great that you have that wonderful makers plate -- usually most trunk are not marked. This piece, if the canvas does not clean up well, would be a good candidate for refinishing.
