<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 1959579, member: 5066&quot;]Just black lighted chest to look at paint, the feet which are replaced and the lid is obviously not original paint. Thing is, most lids on painted chests of this age are little more than bare wood with sometimes a faint outline of decoration.</p><p>Understandable really as lids were used for everything from seats to butchering hogs, very few lids have much if any decoration left at all.</p><p>The feet on Bieber chests didn&#039;t do much better, those high dovetailed bracket feet just did not survive. I would guess in looking at sales/auction reports, over 90% of bieber chest feet are replaced. Only one chest i found claimed to have it&#039;s original feet and it stated, feet removed, repaired and re-installed on chest.</p><p>Fact is, if not for newer paint on my chest, i would have been elbowed aside by foofoo people in a NY min! So actually a blessing for me as i would have had NO CHANCE had folk art people cast their gaze on this chest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
