[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2708121, member: 5066"]In America referred to as a crab or grab lock, no clue what they are called in Europe. Value here would be very low, condition is poor, it's size and the paint decoration is not exactly exciting from what I can see. It's called an "architectural" chest because it has a board across the front with cutouts to form the panels. In view of that plus the paint, very doubtful it was used originally for livestock, grain storage, etc.[/QUOTE]
