I've learned more about your trunk. It is VERY rare. And there was only 1 or two that should have been painted in that way. I believe that your trunk was on the French "Moto Bloc" car from Great Race of 1908, which was the first international auto race ever. There were only 6 cars in the race! The name of the race wasn't the Moto Bloc...it was the name of the CAR! My bet is that there is only one trunk...and you have it. I would honestly find out about contacting a museum with your trunk. Because it was from a french race and is much older than I thought (Moto bloc was 190. You may be able to sell it to an auto museum or other historical society. I would contact LV first by using their website "contact us" page and ask about dating and appraising your antique trunk. Then start looking for museums that exhibit french moto bloc items. If you can sell it to a museum you may rake in some big $$$.
