Excellent condition overall, very rare, fore end of the belt strap is missing, left side has some loss to the leather cover. Signed and numbered on a paper label "752774, Louis Vuitton." On the left side of the trunk is an oval ship label for Cunard-White Star Line (1934-1949), on the label is the name "Junius Spencer Morgan Jr." who was a member of the famous J.P. Morgan family, the nephew of John Pierpont Morgan. Junius Spencer Morgan III (1892-1960) was the son of John Pierpont "Jack" Morgan Jr. (1867-1943), his grandfather was the original John Pierpont "J.P." Morgan of JP Morgan & Co.; he is the only Junius Spencer Morgan that we can find alive at the time the Cunard-White Star Line was in operation and he very well may have gone by Jr. instead of the third. 24 in. high x 36 in. wide x 13.5 in. deep.
