The Pirate's Lair Exclusive!
We all romanticize about the mystique of these antique steamer trunks. The possible owners and travels that each steamer trunk has taken, along with the high level of detailed craftsmanship in the original production of each and every steamer trunk with that individualized character giving both intrinsic and non-intrinsic value.

However the truth of the matter is that the majority of these steamer trunks were made towards the middle to end of the 19th century at the beginning of the industrial revolution here in America when there were no child labor laws or protections. This rare photo clearly illustrates at least 3 generations of owners and workers, ages appearing to range from pre-teen/adolescent, teens/early adult, through middle to old age!

Note the adolescent factory workers on top row!
