Description

i have a cedar chest that my grandmother gave to me. she got it (a few days ??) before her wedding in 1935. under the lid, there is a stamp that has a man on it, and says Cavalier. it has a button lock that does not work. on the bottom of the chest, the number 3033 is stamped in big black print. there is a design on the front, and (i dont know how to explain this) its got kind of a wavy pattern on the front bottom. 2 square legs in back, 2 differently circle shape legs in front. i dont know what year it is from ... (when it was made) ...... it looks to be red cedar wood, (although its brown) .... i need to know if its worth anything .... ive also got a desk my grandmother had when she was in school.

Very few of them go for over $300.00 these days. They were made in huge numbers, of which most of them survive to this day. Value depends a lot on conditiion, most sell at auction for less than $100.00 these days.
