What information did you want that hasn`t been given !!  We were pretty thorough !! Everything from how it got its name, approx. date of mfr, to the possible value !! There isn`t much more !! Its not unique or rare by any means,, many people had similar trunks !! Having the interior compartments is about all that sets this one apart from other trunks !!

The only thing I can add is:

The print of the baby and the dog was taken from George Augustus Holmes 1876 painting of "Can't You Talk?".
I don't know how long it took before that scene became so popular, but it was an often found item in 1890's homes.

but an estimate of $300 - $500, so on a good day?

Seems reasonable.
