Jenny Lind Trunks

Jenny Lind Trunks: These trunks are easily recognized by their "figure 8", "loaf of bread" shape or their curved keyhole shape. They were generally leather covered with iron bands around them and brass buttons to affix the bands. The more exquisite ones had brass bands, brass buttons, and brass locks along with nicely detailed compartments inside. These trunks were named for the Swedish singer of the same name, Jenny Lind, who made a concert tour in America in the early 1850's and carried trunks of this shape with her.http://www.antiquesinbellbuckle.com/
