    I bought this trunk from a antique shop on the eastern shore of maryland 40 years ago and was told it was a jenny lind trunk. I have tried to find the exact type of jenny lind so I can possibly sell it. So, I need to know what type and how much would it go for.

    I have added three new pics. One from the side, opened up and close up of the lock.

    Unsolved Mystery

    Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

      Can you post some photos from the side, a closer look at the lock and a photo of the inside? Thanks

      Here's a great website for you to see the various styles. http://legacytrunks.com/trunk_history_information.htm
      My guess on price, based on the condition that I can see from the photos, would be about $450

      Thank you for your estimate. What I would like to know is the type of trunk. Is it a jenny lind and what is the timer period it was made. Thanks again.

      It is a Jenny Lind style -around 1870. If you check the website, you will see a very similar trunk (even the same lock plate) under the section marked Jenny Lind

      Tyler6597: the 1900 Sears catalog has over 40 illustration,description and prices.The orginal catalog is a little hard to find but have seen some good reproductions plus seen some DVDs-have fun in your quest.
