768. Mabel Normand's Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. This beautiful vintage early 1920s Louis Vuitton steamer trunk belonged to Mabel Normand. Constructed of poplar and covered in Louis Vuitton's trademark dark brown leather with gold "LV" pattern, brass corner trim and lock and interior covered in canvas. It features three felt-lined compartmental drawers with fabric handles (one handle broken). Included inside is a pair of Normand's black slip-on leather slippers with silver shoetrees and shoe horn. The trunk is stamped "MN" in black on one end, "FRH – Shoe Trunk" painted in red on the lid and has a White Star Line label on another end. The brass lock and clasps still work although there is no key. The leather side handles are broken but present. Measures 35 ½ in. long x 19 ½ in. tall x 15 in. deep. It exhibits minor wear but remains in remarkably good condition. Includes a LOA stating the trunk was acquired from Julia Benson, Mabel Normand's nurse and longtime companion.
