    1. Dating a trunk - slightly OT
    2. Joel S. Russell
    3. I apologize if this is slightly off-topic, but I'm not sure where else to turn. I have a trunk that has been handed down in my family. Family story says that it was one of the trunks the family used when they immigrated to Indianapolis from Germany. I'm not sure how to date the trunk to see if the story is possible. The trunk is made of wood covered in metal; it has a slightly rounded top, leather handles on each side and is approximately 75 centimeters (30 inches) wide by 40 centimeters (16 inches) deep by 50 centimeters (20 inches) tall. Is anyone out there familiar with a news group, mailing list, etc where I might find more information? Thank you! Joel www.rafert.org
