Item Description
This is an antique trunk made by THOMAS F. AMES. When I purchased it I was told that it's covering is dear skin. The label reads:
PATENT
SPRING
AND OTHER
SADDLES,
TRUNKS,
Military Work, and Harnesses,
MADE AND SOLD BY
THOMAS F. AMES,
Main Street
KEENE, N.H.
It measures 20" x 11" x 8" and comes with it's original key. The condition is old with some cracks in the covering. Some of the hide covering is starting to come off on the left side. The latch has a tear in it.
