Antique Salesman Sample Trunk / Traveling Trunk / Small Doll Trunk / General Store Display
$165.00
What an amazing piece of history! This small trunk is known as a "Salesman Sample". Back at the turn of the century and into the mid-century salesman would wander the U.S. trying to sell their goods. They couldn't carry full size items, so they carried small designs of the real items. This is one such item then would carry. This trunk is dated to the turn of the century.
This trunk is fully intact, sturdy, and opens and closes well. It is fully lined with a floral fabric and pink ribbon inside. The lining on the bottom has a large stain in one corner - I have not tried to remove the stain. There is NO "smell" coming from the trunk. The outside is in good condition with minor wear due to age. Please note the worn wood in places. This really is an unusual and beautiful piece.
Measures 11" x 6" x 6".
