Antique Immigrant's Trunk

Circa 1840 - 1870

This iron bound trunk probably accompanied an immigrant with the initials "S. D. S." on a one-way trip from somewhere in Europe to "AMERICA, CHICAGO." The trunk has good age to it, and might have had a few years on it before it became destined for Chicago. "S. N. S." is carved into the sides and back. This is later, through the paint, and probably represents a descendant.

Dovetailed corners. Wooden pinned top. Full circumference iron strapping with two hinges and two lock hasps. Iron reinforcements on corners. Iron carrying handles. Pine. Flat top.

39 1/2" wide, 19" deep, and 20" high
