T120 - Rare Jenny Lind Doll or Toy Trunk

Size: 14" x 8" tall x 8" deep.

A nice Jenny Lind toy, sample, or doll trunk of the 1850's to 70's. These are very hard to find! It has the distinctive bread loaf shape which is part of the Jenny Lind style. This one has been carefully refinished and restored, keeping as many of the original features as possible. All of the small Jenny Lind brass cone shaped buttons or tacks and metal hardware are original. The iron lock is missing the top hasp piece but it really doesn't detract from the look of the trunk. The original wooden tray is present also. It has new leather handles on each side.

The interior has been cleaned and relined with fabric. The original wood tray and lid have early style prints of Jenny Lind and General Grant. (See detailed pictures). I've had small Jenny Lind trunks with similar original prints inside. Perfect for display with your fashion dolls or miniature trunk collection, as a special jewelry box, or as a great conversation display piece!

A true piece of American history related to Swedish singer Jenny Lind who toured the US from 1850 to 1852 with P.T. Barnum. These special little trunks were well made and used by children and ladies of the mid 1800's. The trunk is all wood and the bottom is in very good condition. The overall condition is very good and the trunk displays very well. Please see all the pictures for the condition details. For many years I have specialized in the early American made trunks including the famous Jenny Lind style which originated in the United States. Each one of these miniature trunks that I've had were different in some small ways, but each has a lot of character and charm!
