These are both identical vulcanized fiber cartage trunks with brass or steel cornering/edging. The top lid comes off, and there are bolts around inside edge that can be used to bolt the top on from the exterior for shipping. Could be used as a very authentic piece of decor/pedestal/table. L 33 x D 18 x H 15 7/8 in. The lighter version is loosing some of the fiber covering, so you can see the plywood core in some areas. The darker version is less patinated but much cleaner example.
