Chest like this tend to be made in South East Asia and China, most date from the first to second quarter of the 20th century. A great many of them were sent home as gifts by troops stationed in Korea, Japan and Vietnam since before Worls War Two (1939). While not mass produced in the modern sense of the term they were made in very large numbers and tend to have modest values, we retail comparables for about $350.00.
