[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2770931, member: 22"]It looks like the rivets / studs were put through the letters so maybe made to order before completion. Domed chests were usually owned by the wealthier traveller, they were loaded last and removed first on arrival as flat trunks could not be loaded on top. Nowadays flat trunks sell best and are used as tables, coffee tables etc. Domed trunks are used as blanket or storage boxes and that is about all.[/QUOTE]
