<p>[QUOTE="chris klausen, post: 9521016, member: 81903"]Thank you. The letter does refer to this chest which was in my friends family for 90 years. He sold it to me because at his age he wants to downsize and he knew I'd take care of it. I would have been a little worried about the date too but like tyhe initials I believe the owner was less of a perfectionist than the maker. Also the date has the same patina as everything else. Can you tell me what kind of house would this have been in when new? Was it an upper class item like my London 1734 Long Case clock was?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
