Description

I have a 1939 Lane Chest with lock and inside storage compartment. The outside has many scratches and is pretty banged up. The scratches are not very deep. The inside is really good with the original green lining in the storage part and all the markings show really well. Everything works great and except I have no key for the lock part of it. Still smells fresh!

 

Would love to know the value of it and how to make it look better without ruining the quality.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

There are already tons of Cedar Lane Chests that have already been appraised on Instappraisal. Did you first check those to see if yours is the same/similar? You can simply do a search of "Cedar Lane" in the search bar to find them all. Hope this helps...
