Short answer is, NEVER!:hilarious: The feet have been added & the lid is replaced but that does not matter, that floral carving (and construction) is pure Dennis, no doubt about it. Condition report below "The lid is an old replacement and the feet have been added. Some very minor surface scratches, nicks and abrasions consistent with age and use. Proper left cotter hinge loose at connection to body of chest. 3 inch loss to proper right rear corner of baseboard. Proper left front foot loose." Never heard of her! :sorry::eek: But, little doubt Dat So La Lee made killer baskets!:happy:[/QUOTE]
