You are bidding on a Rare to find piece of History; an original (Not a Reproduction) Vintage Hirschfelder and Meaney Steamer Trunk/Chest that measures approximately 38” x 22” x 26”.

An early to mid 1920 Hirschfelder & Meaney US made cabin trunk with studded and gilded metal corners and iron clasps, hinged to reveal a fitted dimension as shown above.

We searched extensively on the internet to find information about this piece of history and all we could find is as explained below:

Hirschfelder & Meaney was established in 1893, with offices and salesrooms at No. 22 Sutter Street. Its factory was located at Twentieth and Florida streets in San Francisco and covers an area of eleven thousand square feet. The San Francisco Call Newspaper of November 16th 1911 listed their address to be on 519 Market Street and another internet search revealed they moved to Battery Street around 1913.

Hirschfelder & Meaney was also listed in the 1926 San Francisco chamber of commerce publication as a chest maker with address at 36 battery street San Francisco. Earlier edition of same publication published in 1910 listed same company’s address to be 519 Market Street

There are documentations published between 1910 and 1926 that made reference to this company. I have not seen any reference to the company after 1926. This however does not mean one is not out there and for this reason we listed this chest as mid to early 1920. Please do your research to get more information about this vintage chest. We have supplied all the information we had as of the time of listing.

We did not do any form of restoration or special cleaning on this chest.
