Description

Antique hat box / small travel trunk.  It is made of wood, and the exterior is covered in a black fabric with metal reinforcements on the corners.  The box measures about 10.75" tall (not including the leather handle), and the base is about 18.25" x 12".  It is marked on the inside of the lid "John Wanamaker New York".  John Wanamaker opened his first New York department store in 1896, so this is from after that.  I would estimate it is c. 1900-1910 but I don't know for sure.  Condition is as seen in photos.  Scratches, scuffs, some small tears in the cloth covering, light cracks/scuffs in the leather, and other wear.  Please take a look and feel free to ask any questions.  Thanks!!!
