    Trying to find information about this trunk. It was left out front of a neighbor's house. It had some nasty red felt glued throughout, we removed it all and found some items that may help identify the manufacturer or model. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

      Pictures are to close to get a good look at your trunk, but it looks like an embossed tin barrel top trunk from the late 1880's possibly in to the early 1890's, cool East lake lock on it, without a makers label in it very hard to say who the maker was, a lot of trunks had no labels in them, this style of trunk was made by hundreds of trunk manufactures during this time period, greendog.

      P.S. not a steamer trunk, this was a travel trunk, steamer trunks are short flat and rectangular in shape, greendog.
