A rod , also known as travel baggage , is a large cube-shaped container designed to store clothing and other personal items. They are most often used for long periods away from home, such as for pesantren, or long trips abroad. Trunks are distinguished from crates by rougher construction because of their intended use as luggage, not the last pure storage.
Among the many stems there are Jenny Lind, Saratoga, monitors, steamer or Cabin, barrel-staves, octagon or bevel-top, wardrobe, dome-tops, barrel-tops, wall trunks, and even rods full closet. These different styles often only last for a decade or two, and - along with hardware - can be very helpful in jamming unmarked bars.

History and construction
Although the trunk has existed for thousands of years in China and elsewhere, the most commonly seen and referenced styles on today's date from the late 18th to early 20th century, when they were replaced by cheaper and lighter luggage in market.
Trunks are generally constructed with a base rod box made of pine which is then covered with a protective and decorative material. Some of the earliest stems are covered with skin or leather-studded and very similar to furniture in the same period (which makes sense since the production of baggage is sometimes a branch of the furniture business). The next cover includes paper, canvas, ordinary or embossed lead. , with an assortment of countless hardware and hardwoods to store everything.

Famous company
There are hundreds of luggage manufacturers in the United States and some of the larger and famous companies are Rhino Trunk & amp; Case, C.A. Taylor, Haskell Brothers, Martin Maier, Romadka Bros., Goldsmith & amp; Children, Crouch & amp; Fitzgerald, M. M. Secor, Winship, Hartmann, Belber, Oshkosh, Seward, and Leatheroid. One of the largest stem manufacturers in America at one point - Seward Trunk Co. from Petersburg, Virginia - still keeps them for schools and camps, â € <â €
Styles and manufacturers
The easiest way for a casual observer to date is that each trunk is still checking its style, so a brief description of each of the main types mentioned above.
Jenny Lind trunks has a glass watch or different keyhole shape when viewed from the side. They were named after the Swedish singer of the same name who toured America in 1850 - 1852 along with PT Barnum.
Saratoga sticks are premium bars of many makers (or the exclusive designs of many premium rod makers) and can actually include almost any other style of manufactured rods if loosely defined, although they are generally limited before the 1880s. The most easily recognizable feature of Saratogas is the myriad (and generally very complex) compartments, trays, and heavy-duty hardware.
The monitor-tops (falsely known as falling watercolors of furniture) dates from the late 1870s to the late 1910s, and are characterized by their rounded and rounded corners to form a "D" lie when viewed from the side. Earlier examples usually included intensive hardwood pieces that curved with the top, while there were many more rare revivals, all of which were made of metal.
Steamer rods (named after their storage location in the steamboat cabin, or "steamers") sometimes referred to as flat-tops, first appeared in the late 1870s, although larger than they originated from the period 1880-1920. They are distinguished by flat tops or slightly curved and are usually covered in canvas, leather or patterned paper and about 14 inches (36 cm) tall to accommodate steam baggage regulations. There is much debate and discourse about what exactly this type of stalk is. In some old catalogs, they are called "packers", and the "steamer" rod actually refers to a rod that is often called a cab trunk. An orthodox name for this type of trunk will be the baggage "packers", but as it has been widely known as a steamer for so long, it is now the hallmark of this style.
Cabbage , sometimes called the "right" steamer rod, equivalent to the current luggage. They are low-profiled and small enough to fit under a carriage or in a steamboat cabin, hence their name. Most are built with flat-tops and have inner tray compartments to store valuable possessions that are deemed too valuable to be stored in the main luggage or dock trains.
The hat bar was a popular square shaft in the 1860s to the 1890s. Today, they are mostly called "half-rods". They are smaller and easier to carry, and can accommodate up to six hats or caps. Most are flat tops, but some have dome lids (which are very elegant). This baggage style is very popular among Victorian women, so the antique bar label often calls this type of "lady's suitcase". Trunk caps are generally sold for more than other average luggage styles because they are smaller and somewhat rare.
Barrel-staves are sometimes referred to as dome-top trunk forms, but generally come from a decade or earlier and are notorious for having vertical horizontal blades, giving distinctive look and construction. This is generally made from the late 1870s to the mid 1880s.
Bevel-tops are separated into periods of beginning and ending (or revival), the first of which generally dates from the period 1870-1880, and the latter from 1890 to 1900. They are characterized by different trapezids. shape when viewed from the side, although the previous period tends to have a shorter flat top than later. These tend to be very rare, though not as popular or sought as many other varieties.
Underwear pants generally have to stand on the ends to open and have drawers on one side and hangers on the other. Many of the better clothing lines also include buckles/ties for shoes, removable briefcases/office bags, privacy curtains, mirrors, makeup boxes, and anything imaginable. This is usually very large and heavy because it is used for long trips by boat or train.
A dome-top stem has a high curved peak that can rise to a height of 25-30 in (64-76 cm). Various construction methods - including drainage, mold making, barrel construction, and so on - are used to form inner boxes. Included in this classification are the camels , which are distinguished from having higher upper center runs higher than their counterparts, hunchbacks or < b> humpbacks -backs are the same but have no slots in the top center, and barrel-tops (not to be confused with barrel staves), which have high curved blades that are all of the same height, a difference that can be seen by placing a flat ruler at the top of the bar. These stems come from the 1870s to the 1900s, though there are some stores that still produce them today. They are not only the most commonly referred to as antique sticks, but also the most popular.
Wall rods are made with special hinges so that when opened the trunk can still stick to the wall. Two major manufacturers include Clinton and Miller, which can be easily recorded by name on a hinge. In good shape these are highly sought after rods for special types, although they are in the middle range when it comes to price.
The clothing bar also known as pyramid rods, because of its shape, is a unique form of stem-wall generally derived from the era 1900-1910. They are marked by a lid that opens almost the entire front of the stem, allowing it to rest at the bottom. Two leading manufacturers of this trunk style are F. A. Stallman and Homer Young & amp; Together.
Ecstasy sticks that combine many styles of construction (eg dome-top, flat-top, beveled-top) are built on wooden frames, where the hammer will fit into a thin, vertical oak side-by-side until the entire stem is closed. For a Victoria, this will show the complexity of the stems and sharpness of the malletier, and is an indication of wealth for every buyer. The Oak-slat Bucket is built by several companies, including Excelsior Company, MM Company (Martin Maier), Clinton Wall Trunk Factory, and El Paso Slat Trunk Company. Some oak-slat bars are made in alternating colors on the vertical bars.
Footlockers are baggage-like luggage used in a military context. Generally it is designed for economy, ruggedness, and ease of transportation rather than aesthetic qualities.
During the steam rod restoration process when the paper cover is removed, a date note in a lead pencil made by the original craftsman can be found, as well as the impression of a circular saw blade made on the roughly cut wood in the saw mill both of which give character and added value to the stem restored.
Type of tray compartment
There are plenty of trays and lid of compartments on Victorian trunks, from base to complex. The basic tray system consists of a hat box, dress compartment, coin box, and document box. However, a complicated tray system may consist of two cap boxes, several other dress compartments, a coin box, several document boxes and even a secret compartment strategically placed so that unwanted people will pass through if not alert. Beautiful lithographs will be placed over the lid or the luggage dome and really capture the aesthetic of Victoria that day. There are many chromolithographs that can be used by the rod maker, and they can be an indication of who is meant for the torso, such as a woman or a man. The bride's chest usually has many pictures of flowers or lithographs from other women, while men have photos of "villages" or village scenes. It's up to the malletier what to put on the lids and trays.
