Picked this old trunk at a garage sale in the Kansas City area on Saturday. The lock reads USA Excelsior Stamford Conn 5985. Just seeing if anyone could place a date on it?

Thanks

Nice travel trunk! From what I can gather doing a quick search is that your trunk dates somewhere between 1895 and 1910. Excelsior was the lock maker, but not the trunk maker.
