I was given this today in my local buy nothing group. Would love to know more about it.. age, etc…
The top and sides and a thin wood. On the inside, it is papered. On the outside, it is covered in a canvas-like material. There are wood slats on the top, front and bottom that appear to be for support. There are some leather straps remaining. The hardware all appears to be present and original. There are non-pivoting wheels on the bottom. The leather of the handles is mostly gone. No makers mark anywhere that I could see. Any thoughts?
Edited to add.. looking more closely at the pictures, and then re-examining the lock, I do see the imprint for “Eagle Lock Company, Terryville, Conn, USA”. Which narrows the range to 1833-1975.
