Any ideas?  I was hoping the latch and/or picture might be recognizable to someone, but maybe not... do you think it's just some run of the mill trunk I should resell to the "highest bidder?"

Thanks,

Brandon

hmm, having trouble how to figure out how to resize without getting so grainy... not used to working with a photosharing program like photobucket...

Will keep trying and hopefully have something good here soon...

Thanks,

Wanted to add:

The top is SLIGHTLY domed...
There is a divided tray... The is divided about 1/3 of the way across, and the smaller section has what appears to be part of a top to it, although it only covers about 1/4 of the small section... The tray has the same type of covering material as the rest of the box...

I will post a picture of that tomorrow morning...

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello again,

A couple items I picked up in a sale... Think they are great pieces, know nothing about them...

Any info is appreciated... The lighter colored figure is 10" tall, 162g, and had the remnants of a VERY old sticker on the bottom that said "Bali carvings dewi riath and (monster) kala rahu" which is actually tucked under the arm in the picture, as it was coming off and I wanted to look for marks underneath... The darker colored figure is 10" tall, 210g, and has BALI carved into the bottom.

Thanks for any info!

Brandon

Hello,

As this is my first post, let me thank everyone in advance for the help they may provide.

I recently purchased a garage full of items, one being an antique trunk.  There is really no identifying mark anywhere, other than the portrait of the woman inside.  It is on small casters.

I have come across a few trunks throughout my life, and actually have a military trunk from my grandfather, but I have no knowledge of them.  That said, I am interested in learning what this trunk is and whether it would be worth restoring... I have the ability to do it myself if the project is worth the undertaking. 

I also have a few others items I am curious about, and I will be posting them in separate threads... Thanks again for any info.

Brandon
