Vintage Wardrobe Trunk

New in today a great object from the golden age of cruise line travel. A wonderful vintage steamer trunk finished in yellow canvas which opens to form a small wardrobe and chest of drawers. The luggage lables show it sailed to Southampton on the Angelina Louro (sister ship of the notorious Achille Largo) of the Italian Flotta Lauro line. Typical of the trunks producaed by the US company OahKosh in the 1930's & 40's. The metal hinges, corners and catches could do with a polish, otherwise it is in remarkable condition.
£295.
