[QUOTE="Tanya, post: 4284823, member: 8340"][ATTACH=full]344425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344424[/ATTACH] I just bought this in Maine. I have found similar examples online listed by sellers as 1750 and 1850. I would really like to get a better idea of when it’s made! It’s made of all solid wood (no planks of wood joined together). The curved top is one solid piece. The bottoms and sides are each 1 solid piece. The nails are “rectangle”. The lock is held in place with modern screws and may not be original to the trunk (see photo). It was once painted red (see photo). There are no handles! There have never been - wood is smooth on sides, no holes. It’s in far from perfect condition but I love it.[/QUOTE]
