If you can’t find a label, look on the hardware for markings. Trunks are differentiated from chests by their more rugged construction due to their intended use as luggage, instead of the latter’s pure storage. This goes for oak slat trunks too.

Wood- or hard material- made trunks have simple structures but they always offer you roomy compartments to keep huge amount of items. A feature of the oak slat trunk is that they were all built professionally and so were consistently high in quality. Generally the locks were made by lock companies and sold to trunk makers as parts, so they are not a good source to determine who made the trunk. Slat clamps are the metal pieces that cover the ends of the wooden slats on the outside of your trunk. They were most commonly used for extended periods away from home, such as for boarding school, or long trips abroad.
