<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 283936, member: 54"]Could be a sea chest but one from period you mention would always have Becketts for handles on ends, and yours never had them. Might also be a carpenter's chest but lacks saw rack and other things those usually had. Might be a steamer trunk? The steel handles on ends are probably original and someone here may know when that handle design first showed up in Sears catalogs, maybe early 20th? Blanket chest? J.J. Dooley might be maker?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
