What does this mean?

This is an early 20th century travel chest and storage trunk from England that was produced by the Jenkins Brothers. The wood is likely Scots Pine and iron is used for re-enforcement and stability. The original manufacturers label is still intact as well as the paper lining. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.

Please add images of the interior and close-ups of the joinery and nailheads/hardware as seen from the inside. Also check for any marker marks, tags or labels on this and the lock mechanism.
