| Antique Monitor Trunk Working Lock - Tray Guthrie Trunk Store - Louisville Circa 1895 SOLD This monitor trunk measures a nice size 32"L X 24"H X 19"W and comes from the later 1800 to very early 1900's. It was sold from Guthries Trunk Store which was in Louisville. Guthries began just after the civil war and starting making a very high quality trunk on their own. Over time, they established themselves as a popular retail location and began offering goods from other makers as well. I expect this is one of them so maker probably not know. Nice to know where it came from just the same. The trunk has some beautiful pine wood with oak slats, each being with very nice tone. The metal trim is dark brown which is older paint. It was placed under a protective finish to lend a hand keeping this with antique character and looks nice. Latches work fine and the lock comes with a working key. The inside is lightly finished wood much like the outside. It will come with a new tray and is perfectly suited for storage as you wish. |
