Description
This is a Lane chest I recently aquired and I am interested in what it is worth? I might be interested in selling it depending on it's value. It is in really good condition and is a blond finish with some antique crackle finish and woven detail going down both sides of the front with a drawer in the bottom front and an automatic lock that you have to push to open. Serial # 591403 and Style # 2962

Re: Cedar Chest
Re: Cedar Chest
The serial number seems to be "off". It is definitely a mid-century piece 50's-60's.
In the beginning the serial numbers were 6 digits and were read left to right. In your case, it would read 031459.
Lane changed the serial number to 7 digits.
The serial #, read backwards, will tell you the month, day and year it was manufactured. If it has 7 numbers, the last number indicates which plant it was made at. Example
2235150 = 2 / 23 / 51 / 50 shows it was made on May 15, 1932 at plant #2.
In your case, if it were made March 14, 1959 it would read 954130.
