Re: Norwegian Travel Chest
Hi
In Norway, it was commen to write the name of the owner and the year. So this chest was given to P.J.S in 1729. If you considering selling it, it probobly should sell best in Norway. "Everyone" here loves old chests :p Many people would pay a great deal of money to own this piece.
