<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9802727, member: 37"]Not sure these have a name. Basically a blacksmith solution to making a hinge. Definitely a sign of age. I think your multi-board top is a better age indicator. While not well-versed on English box construction, if this were American, would certainly be from the latter half of the 19th entury. Earlier chests would have a single board top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
