Antique Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk (Late 1800s)

This is a vintage Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. I'm not 100% sure on the date, but I believe it's late 1800s. Judging by the label, I think it's somewhere between 1885 and 1890. Overall, the inside is in rough shape, but the outside, whilst still worn, isn't terrible for such an old item. The outside has a lot of scrapes/peeling wood, etc.

The carrying handle on one side of the trunk is broken/missing. There's a few loose and rusted pieces of metal. Some of the rivets, while patinated, still show the Louis Vuitton text. As for operation, the trunk does open and close smoothly.

The inside isn't in great condition. It's very worn down, and most of the paper? There's no included organizers/drawers/etc inside.

The ribbon type stuff is damaged and there are pins missing. There are a few labels/stickers. First, the main LV label shows the London & Paris locations, and displays a (written) serial number.

There's another small, peeling sticker that shows the two stores again. On the outside, there is a peeling sticker from the prestigious Savoy Hotel. There is a very tiny, faded tag on the outside as well that I believe says something about a train luggage transfer, but it is near unreadable. Happy to drive to a neighboring state (I'm in Milwaukee, WI) to dropoff. The item "Antique Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk (Late 1800s)" is in sale since Friday, December 11, 2020.
