Large Size All Wood Low Profile Flat Top Trunk with Original Owners Name and Shipping Label Affixed to the Exterior of the Trunk. The Pine Wood Body has a Medium Reddish-Brown Patina which Contrasts Beautifully with the Lighter Oak Wood Slats and Blackened Heavy Duty Hardware. Has the Original End Caps with New Leather Handles. Original Owner was "Alma E. Bailey of Fredericksburg, VA" and address was "The State Teachers College". The Shipping Label was From: "The Railway Express Company". The Trunk was Shipped From the "H.W. Humphrey Co of Unionville, Conn." which Offered Paper Boxes/Cleaning Items and was Most Likely an Agent for the Shipping Company. From Archived Records at "Mary Washington College" It Appears that Ms. Bailey was a Student During the 1933-134 Session and had Clothing or Other Articles Shipped to Her.

In 1908 "The State Teachers College of Fredericksburg" (or Fredericksburg Teachers College) was First Established by State Law. In 1938 it was renamed the "Mary Washington College for Women" after George Washington's mother! In 1944 the College then Became Associated with the University of Virginia as its "womens college" since UVA was not Co-ed. In 1970 After UVA Became Completely Co-Ed the College Then Became an Independent Co-Educational Institution and was Renamed "University of Mary Washington"! A GREAT Piece of Early Virginia History!
