Thanks everyone. It's nice to know that I have a piece that may have an interesting history. Does anyone know if the White Star Line had different colors of stickers for different ships? I've tried to look up the line and see what ship the sticker came from, or time period, and the only one I can find is a red one, not blue. I'm assuming the red one was used on the Titanic?

I just looked at the center lock and there is a star on the top and then underneath, near where the key goes, it reads "PAT'D MAR 69"

Here are pictures of the hinge on the back, the inside of the trunk, the only hinge on the inside and one of the outside latches. Both latches and the three hinges on the back look the same.

I recently purchased a trunk at a flee market because I liked the looks of it for our living room. When I got it home and cleaned it up, my husband and I noticed some stickers on the sides. It also has a label on the inside of the lid. I have attached pictures of the front/top of the trunk, the label inside of the trunk and the label we found most interesting. It looks like a White Star Line sticker. We aren't sure if this is a real antique or just a reproduction. Thank you in advance.
