One can only wonder at the provenance of this Stunning 1776 Oak and Iron Dome-top Trunk and the things it has seen! Was it owned by some famousPatriot or by a Revolutionary War Officer? If the Initials "DEB" stand for the name of the Maker, it is possible that this Trunk was owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere or somebody else famous. The Initials "DEB" may also stand for whoever commissioned its manufacture but there is no way to know where or by whom this Incredible 'Time Machine' 1776 Trunk was made. Whoever owned it must have been very rich in those days to afford this Incredible One of a Kind Museum Piece!
