This low-profile, flat-top steamer chest features original blackened iron slat bands and structural iron strapping anchored by heavily domed, brass-capped rivets. Notably, the primary metal strapping retains its rare and authentic historic mark stamped “JOHN BRADLEY …STOUR” in crisp, antique serif block lettering.
