Re: Lane Cedar Chest

The serial #, read backwards, will tell you the month, day and year it was manufactured.  If it has 7 numbers, the last number indicates which plant it was made at.  Example

2235150  = 2 / 23 / 51 / 50  shows it was made on May 15, 1932 at plant #2. 

 

In your case, it was made August 6, 1942.  If you can post a pic, someone may be able to help put a value on it.
