Los Angeles Transfer Co. Antique Domed Steamer Trunk Mid 1800’s Early 1900’s

Type and Era: The trunk is a style typically referred to as a "steamer trunk" or "cabin trunk," popular from the late Victorian era through the early 20th century. Materials: It features a wood frame covered in a dark material (likely canvas or plain tin), with metal banding, corner protectors, and leather handles and straps. Label Information: The prominent paper label on the front indicates it was handled by the "Los Angeles Transfer Co." located at 317 Crocker St. This specific address helps date the trunk to a period when this company operated from that location. Condition: The trunk is in heavily worn, rustic condition, with visible rust, scratches, and missing leather panels, which impacts its value as a pristine antique.

The value would likely be highest if sold through an antiques dealer or auction house specializing in vintage travel items. Measurement: 34” X 20”X12” Sold as is!
