This is one of the very few touring car trunks we've found in years and it's a really nice one too. Trunks, like nearly everything else, had to adapt to the coming of the automobile and here's one of the best examples. This beautiful trunk was probably meant for the back of a large touring car like a Packard. Many companies, including Packard themselves made these for all different models of cars. Eventually car manufacturers made the trunk an integral part of the car and these wonderful bits of history started to disappear so today they're more difficult to find than the automobiles. Note the maker's label in brass, something very rare. Note too the heavy nickel-plated hardware - the WORKING locks with key (the only automobile trunk we've ever had with these), the turnbuckles and the alignment dowel. The turnbuckles and locks were made by Excelsior and are stamped with "USA Excelsior Stamford Conn.". The trunk itself was made by W. R. Malm & Company in San Francisco. This trunk is all original except for new leather handles and straps; otherwise we've only cleaned and preserved it. The inside of the trunk is lined with the original linen material that is in excellent condition. We found this one near Mesa, CO. It dates back to the 1920s. By the way, you don't necessarily need a '20s car to enjoy a trunk like this; one car trunk we sold ended up on the back of a PT Cruiser and the owner was ecstatic.
