I used to be an antiques dealer here in the Midwest. You have what they call a Dome top trunk. Yours is in pretty good shape. Lots of times the interior drawers are missing. Here's one that's been restored. Being out of antiques for a while now, I'm not sure how the market is for these things. I would give you a rough estimate of $100 to $250.....Maybe a little more on the east coast......Here's a link to one that's been restored.... Antique Trunks Flat Top or Dome Top with a Shadow Box and Steamer Trunks Make the perfect military retirement gifts for military promotions, enlisted or officer. Store uniforms, flags, militaria and mementos and uniforms, or used in a family heirloom *It has the same trademark as yours.

Not sure of the going rate in northern Minnesota, but I'm "certain" it's well above the $250 mark for that condition. Has been a couple years since I saw one here, it was for $350 and in rough shape. They're hard to come by here. ...But then, it had a flat top. However, no real identifying marks, either.

That's a beauty! It looks like someone has done some restoration on it. New leather handles, some new wood. Your in Ms. I'm in Ms. I've seen quite a few, but not as nice as yours with the trays. I would say you should be able to get $200-300 locally.
In the big cities, you may get more.

Thanks! Going to take it by a local antique store to see if they can give me an accurate value, since they can see it in person.

Here in Connecticut you would get 350-500 for it
