Style no. 2075, Serial no. 541380. We were told the serial number tells the date (1945?? or 54?). There is green felt in good condition inside. The chest has the original paperwork in it.
It's in the late Art Deco " waterfall style" made 1945. These chest were made in huge numbers, of which it seems nearly everyone made has survived to this day ;~) We often retail them for less than $225.00.
My wife and I picked up this exact chest while rummaging about a year ago. Sadly, it is no longer in the condition of the pictures posted, but I plan on doing some restoration to it.
