You need to know who manufactured it. Look inside the trunk, on the bottom or on the back for some kind of marking or label.

There may be some type of marking or symbol on the trunk so that it can be identified in some manner. Without any marks/names it would just be luck if someone on this site knew anything about your trunk.

You might ask a question of this company but not sure if they are still answering questions or doing appraisals.

If it is really worth knowing (to you) then I would suggest you take some very good pictures (especially hinges) and pay $17 for an appraiser.
