Trunk 1920's or early 1930's. Packard or Hudson ?

[Douglas Gilmore Brown]

I bought this trunk at  a yard sale in  a rural Maine town, at a  large railside building that had been a general store from about 1880 through 1960.

 

The sellers, who seemed to know little about old cars, said it was from a Packard. I suspect it isn't Packard, as it is of fairly light construction. I know from an old photo that this store sold Hudsons in the 1936.

 

  So, it might be Hudson, but I think it probably is an aftermarket item.

 

Its dimensions are 38 1/4 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 16 1/2 inches high. Inside, it has a plywood insert on the bottom.  The latches are marked  "  USA  /    EXCELSIOR   /  STAMFORD   /   CONN. "

 

Any insight will be much appreciated !
