[QUOTE="Keith034, post: 4340662, member: 33710"]Hello all. The amazingly knowledgeable responses to my last post inspired me to post this, which I have been wondering about for some time. It is an antique hope chest my mother gave me about a year ago. Here is what I can make out from the markings on the bottom… Serial No. 111827 Style No. 744 Style No 44140 Not sure why it is identified with two different style numbers. I seem to recall the serial identifying it as a Lane from the turn of the 20th century? Still has a very strong smell of cedar (naphthalene). Can anyone tell me about it? Thanks again!
