 | | A
sturdy travelling trunk made from wood that is covered with treated tan/green
canvas. The trunk is reinforced with wood, leather and metal bracings. There
are two leather handles, one on the right side and one on left side. This
view shows the right side of the trunk. There are six stickers on the right
side. One sticker is an oval in red, tan and black that is sideways and states "Coln
am Rhein; Hotel du Nord, vormals J. Friedrich, einziges Hotel I. Ranges am
Central-Banhof." Below that sticker is a red and tan rectangular sticker
placed upside-down, (the only legible word is "Bruxelles"). The last four
stickers are all black on tan and state "639 Paris, Paris vis Quevy." Below
the group of stickers is hand lettered in black ink in capital letters "ANFENGER,
DENVER." Louis
Anfenger used this trunk when he and his family went to Europe in 1890. (See
also Louis Anfenger's diary detailing his trip.) The lock box has engraved
in a circle "Yale & Town, MFG Co, Stamford Conn USA". |
