<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Brown, post: 227694, member: 3615&quot;]After seeing some more of your photos I would probably date it a little earlier then I did before (somewhere around 1800). The type of lock would indicate no earlier than the very late 1700&#039;s; I&#039;m not sure about the original use, my first thought was a Liquor chest but if it is one it is an unusual design. My other thought was a hat box but it looks too bulky and is not the right dimensions for a hat box. The writing on the front might help to identify it although all I can make out is what I think says L Aan. Whatever is says could be someone&#039;s name or be linked to the original contents.</p><p>Here is a photo of the writing with increased contrast:&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]68263[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
