Beth This sounds like a very standard traveling trunk. Does it have a sticker or manufacturers name inside the lid? Mine, a bit smaller than yours, was made by Chatham & Son, Wolverhampton, England, and there are a couple of internet references them.

Hello Beth n all, I have a wooden trunk that my grandfather made. He lived in South Australia and went, with his parents and most of the siblings, in 1904 and settled in the Martinborough area. Among his possessions, and now in my care, is his wooden trunk and I'm not sure just where it was he made it - NZ or South Australia. It is heavy; 68cm wide x 58cm deep x 48cm high, the interior is unfinished timber and the outer was very aged black matt finish. I has metal latch on the front and two metal side handles. The box has metal strapping top to bottom on from & back and the lid is hinged. I've taken photo's if anyone is interested (cannot post on here). Our family have always referred to this as 'Grandpa Tyler's Black Box' and as youngsters knew that Grandpa always housed his religious books etc in it. Thanks for bringing back memories, Beth (and making me take the photos!). Glenys 10. Metal steamer trunk (aotueka) 11. Re: Metal steamer trunk (Karen Hitchcock) 12.

My parents had a couple they used when they went by ship NZ to UK 1946, and we used them to return to NZ in 1957. We also used them to go to Australia in 1958, and back to NZ in 1963, though on those journeys we went by plane and the trunks came by sea - a bit heavy for the aeroplane. They were very durable, and lasted a long time - I don't know if my parents' ones were new when they first used them. My sister still has my parents' ones, used for storage rather than travelling these days. _______________________ Stuart Park Kerikeri, New Zealand [email protected] Visit my Glass blog at http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of aotueka via Sent: Wednesday, 29 June 2016 1:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [nz] Metal steamer trunk Hello.

Just to let you all know that I will be unsubscribing soon as I have a lot to do!!! I am looking after my mum who has dementia but thought that this little anecdote might interest you When me and my brother came to new Zealand in October we went on the trail to find where my mum lived when she was in nz. We found the area she was in and there was an old farmer who we spoke to. He told us his house was built in 1929, our mum was born 1927 and lived there until 1934. At the end of the lane that we found there was what I call a disused abattoir or ice house, my uncle explained why it had gone out of business. Didn't think anymore about it until recently I showed my mum some of the pictures I took of nz. Showed her the pictures from rotorua baths with the bubbling mum and steam and said that is where her dad used to work. Well her response was amazing. She said that she knew nothing about the baths but he worked in the fields and at the end of the road where the animals were dead... She has never mentioned this before. All through my childhood she painted a picture of new Zealand being a big flat open field and she lived on a farm and had no shoes on her feet until they sailed back to England. All she ever said was that her dad worked on the farm and played polo on ponys. I was amazed to find new Zealand had volcanos and mountains.lol Once again thank you to all those that helped me with my research and responded to my pleas. Gloria
