This is a "Dome Top Steamer Trunk". For many who travelled, a dome top trunk was preferred over a flat top trunk. The flat tops could be and were stacked upon each other, sometimes crushing or doing other damage to the trunks below. The dome top trunks could only go on top of the stacks and therefore less chance of damage to the trunk and it's contents. The dome top trunks also provided a little more capacity for belongings.
