I have an Authentic Bowie Knife Circa 1840 with a wall mount. On the handle of the knife there's a W 49 and a Western U.S.A marking. The title of the post is engraved on the wall mount.
I was given an old Lane Cedar Chest that I am going to give my daughter for her 16th birthday. I was wondering what the value and exact age of it is. I have to put one of the legs back on it. I also think at one time, it had a drawer underneath it in the center that I would like to replace if possible? Other than that, it just needs to be cleaned up. The Style is: 9593-23 and the serial number is: 2375110. Any help would be appreciated. I have enclosed some pictures of the chest as I am unable to find one like it on the Internet. Inside, I found the letter of Authenticity with the Insurance Replacement Value of up to $500.00 for a three year period.
