Two maybe barrell stave trunks I believe.
Nice condition, one has brass straps with brass bosses, the other iron straps with star tacks.
Anybody have any clues for me?

i got one similar like this on my site thought might be a sea trunk what size is this one
there are two seperate trunks, the two right pictures have brass band and bosses
ill get the measurements tomorrow
To hazard a guess, they look like ammunition boxes that were pulled along w/ the artillery, and stored the charges and fuse. I have seen something like these before at re-enactments strapped to the rear of a cannon.
thats very interesting, certainly have never thought about or seen that.
I'll look around and see if I can find something
Thanks for the comment
Please don't think I am by any means an expert. Lol. I am only going off what I have seen before.

gives me somewhere to look
Sure thing. Happy to help. :)
