Re: Ed Roose Cedar Chest
The Roos company was in business from 1916 - 1951, operating in Forest Park Illinois. The company produced these chests in all the popular styles from Colonial to Art Deco. Most furniture in this style was produced during the mid 1920's until World War II. Values vary considerably for these chests, depending on quality of construction, wood type and how close they follow original period designs.Most today sell for under $300.00

what else specifically would you say about this particular chest in question thanks
Re: Ed Roose Cedar Chest
Not much left to say, it's late 20's to mid 30's and a mix of styles, Art Deco and Elizabethan Revival.
