I did some followup on this and was told that this is definitely not an accordion case. He has notes on it that indicate that it was made by the B.B. & B. Trunk Company in Pittsburgh. He thought it was possibly made for a Studebaker. I'm wondering if trunks like these were custom-made by the owner of vehicles, vs the trunks already being attached to the car when it was purchased. Anyone else have ideas about this -- or information about B.B. & B. Trunk company?
