Post by: Volenteseller on May 24, 2008, 10:54:42 PM

This is a wonderful leather trunk with the paper and everything intact. Please look at the advertisement inside the trunk.  I can not find anything about this trunk anywhere.  Just looking for age and maker.  Do ot think Van Nortick was the maker just the seller, I do nnot know, Thanks for  your help as usual!
