Information About Old Trunk?

Information About Old Trunk?I am looking for some answers if possible: age, maker, what's it worth if anything, and should I sell it/restore it. I know a very little history of this trunk, but I know my mom has the twin of it, but she redid hers. Any help is useful of course and I will say thank you in advance now.

Is it lined with paper or fabric?

Is the top flat or bowed slightly?

What are the measurements?

The lock will be one of the keys to help with the research--it is hard to get a good bead on it from the photo:

Maybe this article can get you started:

Maybe with more info, I can help with value.

Thanks!

The Liner is paper.
it is bowed slightly.
the lock is an eagle lock Co. with no patent year or mark on it.
I will get true measurements when I get home later today.
It was also suggested that the latches might be O.D. Hunter.

Also...can you tell me what the print is on the front--is it a boy, a girl, a woman, a child--there appear to be very faint lithographs on each side--or decals. Can you feel them or are they flat?
