Re: Lane cedar chest

You may contact them for a free http://www.lanefurniture.com/CustomerService/Lock-Replacement.aspx replacement lock, if yours is within the years of the recall. And, if yours is pre-40's it is more than the newer, which are usually only around $200.... http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4794032_determining-value-lane-cedar-chest....you can date it thru the company, too.

Re: Lane cedar chest

, serial number 443140 This erial number indicates that the chest was made April 13, 1944 you reverse the numbers to get the date according to the lane company. Anything made prior to 1940 has an increase in value, I have seen these on ebay auction for $99- 200 Hope this helps.
