Signed Antique Blanket chest

By kukanajohn, 6 April, 2009
Description

This chest belongs to a friend. It was made by Solomon Craven in N.Carolina. I havent been able to find out anymore on the Craven's but believe this was made by one of the family member's who this county was named after. It is signed by Solomon Craven Oct 12, 1850. Nice chest. If anyone knows anything about this man or the Craven people i would be interested in finding out. I do want to know if anyone would know the value of this piece ?. I think he paid maybe$600-$800 for it. I appreciate your time in looking at this.
Thanks Sue
