<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 261451, member: 54"]The insides will hold clues as will the undersides and we can't see there. Of interest to me is the fact that neither chest has feet and both have 3 drawers on the bottom-very inconvenient. My wild guess is that they are both from the same place and may have been bought together. My guess at age would be related to the patina (or lack thereof) on the brass tacks. I doubt they were ever polished since there's no trace of polish around them. I'd guess they date from the mid-to-late 20th. C.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
