Description: This is a family heirloom from my late wife. The chest appears to be a vintage or antique steamer trunk, often used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for long voyages, including naval and ocean liner travel. The heavy-duty design with reinforced wooden slats and metal fittings suggests it was built to withstand rough handling and long journeys. The markings "TEE" might indicate the initials of the owner or a specific designation for the trunk. The general style and construction methods, including the metal lock and hinges, suggest it could date from around the late 1800s to early 1900s. Steamer trunks were commonly used during this period by travelers, including those in the navy, to store personal belongings. To confirm its exact origins and date, further investigation into any maker's marks, labels, or detailed historical records associated with the trunk would be necessary. Used condition. Some minor damage butworks well for storage or even for an elaborate pirate party.
