Model A Luggage Trunk?
Good morning all. I found this recently and was looking for a little info on the year and value of it. The tag on the right bottom side says it was made in San Francisco by W.R. Malm. Any info would be appreciated.

It's 42"long, 18" tall and 12" front to back. I've looked for a long time with Google but only found one that was similar, nothing identical.

See if some of the family of Malm's are still in the area, if so contact them and you might be surprised as to what they may have if related to this person and the company itself...or not! Here is a led: https://www.corporationwiki.com/Cali.../39451350.aspx Also try "W. R Malm and Company trunks"...see what you come up with. Have you gone to Google Maps to see where the building was located? If in fact it is still there! This company may have moved to 2443 Filmore St. at some time in their existance. Ya I know...that is a lot of work but just may be fruitful! Pluck Last edited by Steve Plucker; 01-21-2020 at 08:06 AM. |

Yelp reports Malm Luggage (presumably the successor to W. R. Malm) in S. F. is closed. There is a review from about 12 years ago, so they still must have been in business at least that recently. https://www.yelp.com/biz/malm-luggage-san-francisco There's a Malm trunk on eBay that doesn't look as nice as yours. Buy it now is $865. Course like my daddy used to say, "askin' ain't gittin'!" https://www.ebay.com/itm/W-R-MALM-am...-/254202112367 |
