Thanks to all for the information.  My trunk is original and has not been redone.  There are two small flaws in the canvas as seen on the front.  The interior has two trays which are still in good condition.  On one side of the trunk there is a voyage sticker as well as a label from a railroad which I assume is all part of its journey!  I think I will give it a good cleaning and leave as is.

I recently acquired an antique trunk.  On the outside lid there is a metal plate which reads, Wilmington & Co., Trunks and Leather Goods, Toldedo, O.  I have researched this on the internet with no luck.  Can anyone tell me about this trunk manufacturer or when they were in business?  THANKS!
