A nice monitor top trunk from around 1910. This trunk measures 32"L X 24"H X 18.5"W and is built good and solid. Latches work fine and a hasp and working padlock have been installed where the original lock would have been. Goes well with the character of the trunk. The actual hasp is old but I used a safety receiver. If all things work as planned you have to touch the receiver with your finger to move it up just a touch so the hasp will close over it (it is a smooth operation). Hinges and all the important moving things are A+. Nice wide end handles have been installed which are toned much better than shown in the photo's and the bottom has been made suitable for your home. Kind of "clean" but I suppose it has a pretty decent nautical sort of look.The inside is finished wood which has been stained a cut down walnut. The tray is solid poplar and left natural so you get a nice variety of colors.
