This is an Antique Dome Top / Humpback Embossed Metal Trunk.
Dome-Topped trunks had noticeably domed tops and were therefore less used for travel purposes. They are also referred to as round top, camel, barrel and humpback trunks, and are frequently made of embossed tin.
Embossed sheet metal covering for trunks was made from flat sheets of most commonly zinc, tin or sheet iron, which was run through a press to put the raised patterns into the metal.

You trunk is is good conditions, but you didn't write the dimensions. I think the price is about $300-400.
But the price depends not only on the state of the trunk, but also on where this trunk is sold, on the demand / prices in your area.
