Early 20th-Century Flat-Top Steamer Trunk – Vintage Texas Travel Stickers

Description :
This early 1900s flat-top steamer trunk blends rugged utility with nostalgic charm. Covered in worn canvas and reinforced with metal edging and corner protectors, it carries the patina of decades of travel. Its standout feature is the collection of vintage bumper stickers, mostly from Texas destinations—Camp Stewart, Luckenbach, and Hunt—adding personality and a sense of history rooted in summer camps and road trips. The interior is lined with a patterned blue paper, now aged and distressed, showing signs of honest use. A great statement piece for display or storage.
