This is a Lane cedar chest and the style is art deco. It's the cedar chest that made the Lane Co. so famous. Here, you could read all about the company, as well as contact them for the information you are looking for. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-lane-co-inc

Hello, I wanted to thank you for your reply as well the link to find out more information on the Cedar Chest. What I wasnt able to find out was what the Hope Chest is worth as well as the year it was made. I'm not sure if your able to help me find this information or not but either way I want to thank you once again. Sincerly, Shaylee Stevens

It's a late Deco example of the Waterfall type, getting the name from the curved shape of the lid. If I remember the serial number code right this one was made in 1948. Values for these are very modest because they were made in huge numbers, we buy ones like this for about $75.00 tops at auctions.
