Such a trunk is called Dome-top or Round-top or Curved-top or Barrel top (or barrel stave) or even "Convex-top". There are terms Hump-back, and Camel-back, which are slang for a Barrel Top trunk www.worthpoint.com/
I found several very similar to your trunks:

You can also contact a local antiques dealer near you, often the value varies per state. Also if there are any local museums can give you more on the history/value.
I don't know what size your trunk is, but it looks pretty big.
