Need info on old clemson item.


Dec 19, 2019, 4:55 PM

The wife bought me a steamer trunk that has some old looking Clemson A&M stickers. Fort Hill SC incorporated 1889. The big sticker on the center is not very readable. Can see Clemson at the top. The leather handle on the front has what looks to be O 9 (zero nine) stamped in the leather . Little history would be great.

The 09 has to be the year it was made, as in 1909. The stickers look like their from the 40's. I would guess this was in the family and some guy used this while attending Clemson.

I wonder if this is a team travel trunk. We were a military school so it certainly looks like an early 1900’s. You might go look in the library for archived photos to try to identify the trunk.

I'm a "newby", I didn't arrive until 1955.

The trunk may have been what many of the earlier students used when they came to Clemson.
