47 Antique J. Burton & Bro. "Bur Bro" Shipping Trunk
Per lot
This authentic antique shipping trunk by J. Burton & Bro. Ltd. (Falcon Factory, London) features a heavily weathered black exterior with robust metal corner protectors, original brass hardware accents, a leather side handle, and painted tracking numbers. The front is fitted with two heavy-duty retrofitted ABUS latches. Inside, the lid retains its original manufacturer's paper trade label, though the green paper lining shows extensive wear, tearing, and degradation throughout the interior cavity. Offered in heavily distressed, rustic antique condition with significant scuffing, oxidation on the metal components, and a missing left leather handle, it makes for a fantastic industrial storage piece or character-filled decor item. Era of the Trunk
Based on the manufacturer's label details, this trunk dates to the late Victorian or Edwardian era (circa 1890s to 1910s).
The postal code "E.C.1." on the label points to a time after London's sub-district coding system was introduced during WWI (1917), but the company structure, the styling of the brass lock plate stamped with "Secure Lever," and the specific "Falcon Factory, Whitecross Street" address match the peak manufacturing period of J. Burton & Bro. around the turn of the 20th century.
Dimensions: 71.5cm (l) x 49cm (w) x 72cm (h)
