In comparing closely to the Roseville Ivory II pieces on Russco blanks, I don't think this is Roseville. The Roseville pieces have three ridges...
For cleaning, you could use most any type of cleaner as long as you do not get it too wet. Anything greasy could be cleaned with mineral spirits....
I don't see a pic of your complete trunk but, from what I can see, I would say circa 1890. A wide variety of leather trunk handles are available...
Excellent example that is likely by the same maker and attributed as American. I see it sold for only $200.00 Edit: I see it is marked as sold...
