Back in 1878 a Civil War veteran constructed his first trunk in Petersburg, Virginia. The trunk makers company focused on building
quality trunks based on their customers' needs. The steamers and trunks filled cargo holds of ocean liners, carried salesmen's
samples from town to town, and protected items such as afghans, quilts, and important family documents. The voyagers stored
their trunks in their quarters. If the voyagers had multiple trunks they were stored in cargo hold, and were not accessible during the journey.
Families now utilize Steamer Trunks as tables, luggage, nightstands, extra storage, as well as decoration for each room. Each
trunk is a elegant and unique family heirloom gift. These Steamer Trunks offer traditional features such as leather handles, sturdy wooden construction, wooden trays, moisture resistant tongue closures, push button key locks, and powerful brass corners.
