These chests first made their appearance before world war one, but were made well into the 1940's.  Value wise in the current market-$200.00-$350.00.

Thank you for your reply!  I was curious how much these chests would be worth even though I have no intention of selling.  I was lucky to recieve this chest during the closing of my grandparents house after they had both passed away and it is very special to me.  I believe my grandmother had repainted the outside but I am looking to redo it and I'm not quite sure how I want to go about that yet.
