european chest

By u052850, 10 March, 2009
Description

the chest was brought to America by my great grandfather when he immigrated from Europe. Do not know date of his arrival. My grandmother was born in Chicago in 1904 so I know it was before that date.

Re: european chest

These are generally referred to as " Hump top Trunks", they were mass produced Circa 1870-90. Values for them depend on condition and maker. In the rough they generally sell at auction for under $125.00.
