it;s a cedar chest. inside it has a pop up tray and has a hidden drawer at the bottum there are some slieght scratches on the top . the serial # is 452060
Based on your serial # of 452060, your date should be- June 2, 1945 (or 1954) I am no expert, but everything I have read says you take the serial number and reverse the numbers, with the last 2 being the month, middle 2 being the day, and first 2 being the year, but I have heard both ways that the year should be reversed also, or that it shouldnt.
This one dates from the 1950's, it's Moderne styled. Values for lane chests tend to be modest because they made m illions of them, of which most still survive in attics basements and spare bedrooms all over North America. Most like this often sell at auction for under $150.00.
