Camphor Chest???

By sidewhyndr, 8 July, 2013
Description

The measurements are ...24 inches high , 40 1/2 inches long, 20 1/2 inches wide. It has the sliding tray as you can see in the â€śinside” picture, on the left. All I know about it is my mom commandeered it years ago from a man that had been in the military. She was led to believe it was brought over from the orient. It was considered old when she took possession over 40 years ago. It has hand carvings on all 5 sides. If more photos are needed I can do that, with a little muscle to help move it. It is very heavy empty, and as you can see, it is full of childhood memorabilia. I would probably never sell it, but for insurance purposes, as well as curiosity, I need an appraisal. Any information on this chest would be greatly appreciated
