<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 102966, member: 57&quot;]<u>SeaGoat</u> -- It looks like that is a &quot;Star Lock Works&quot; lock on the trunk.&nbsp; I can&#039;t help with the trunk itself, but here is some information you may find of interest (if you haven&#039;t found the website already).</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Moderator-Comment: Star Lock Works in Philadelphia made a variety of nice brass trunk locks for trunk makers. They didn&#039;t actually make the trunks, but they made really nice trunk locks. They were founded in 1836 by Mr. Liebrich and originally the locks were marked with C. Liebrich, Phila. and then in 1869 he retired and two partners, Hillebrand and Wolf took over the company and called it Star Lock Works. They made trunk locks and stays, keys, padlocks, latches and springs. An early trade card advertising Star Lock Works was shown in the Bicentennial exhibit for Philadelphia in 1976. I think they finally went out of business in the very late 1800s.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://thisoldtrunk.com/guestbook/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thisoldtrunk.com/guestbook/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://thisoldtrunk.com/guestbook/index.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
