While cleaning out the attic in order to get ready for my move, my Dad came across a vintage black steamer trunk. This is almost identical to the one we found, except the brass is in better shape on mine. I'm contemplating keeping it to use as a bed side table. I'd shine up the brass and stack it with books and an oversized vintage lamp. (Another thought is to use it in my son's room) Here are a few other ideas for the trunk. I can't wait to find a home!! I'm staying someplace temporarily while I search but my head is SPINNING with ideas!! Here is a snapshot of the trunk we found, it obviously needs some love but could look cool cleaned up.

I had one , like the photo of "the bar" .. before moving to Argentina, we gave it to our son . I believe it is now considered a bedside table :)
I am staring at my Saks 5th Ave Pathfinder Steamer trunk from the 1920s' as I type this. I love it so much & is probably one of the coolest things I own. I like the idea of using it in your sons room. Good luck with your search! Claire
I agree. I'm thinking it's going to go in my son's room!!
I love the trunk up on feet in the bar picture - I'm not sure why, it just speaks to me.
