Hi Beth You might like to see if you can find something similar here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/furniture/trunks/storiesMay give you a bit more idea.

I have a metal steamer trunk that I understand belonged to my gr-gr-grandmother.  She had it circa 1880/1890.  It has riveted reinforced corners and the lid is kinda rounded on the edges. And it is relatively weighty. They have a duplicate at the Auckland Maritime Museum in the immigrant ship display.  But when I asked then about the trunk such as the dates that such trunks would have been used etc, they claimed to know nothing. I'd like to find out about them but came up blank on the internet.  Does anyone know of these or have any idea about the date of them? The dimensions are 460mm high x 500mm deep x 740mm wide. Thanks, Beth Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
