[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1080431, member: 5066"]Personally, i wouldn't place a big bet on "old furniture stories", they tend to grow & be embellished as time goes along. Unless provenance can be verified & checked, it's not provenance, it's an "old furniture story". If John Alden died in 1687, this chest had nothing to do with his life. Let the piece rise or fall on it's own merit i say, we demand more photos. :singing:[/QUOTE]
