6 drawer serpentine chest-on-chest

Appraisal complete
Description

Found this piece put out for the trash collector...

Chest on chest style, serpentine front, six drawers

No manufacturer's label that I can find though there is a series of numbers stamped on the back. They aren't really aligned but seem to read: 1 - 450 - 11 CH 3

Brass handware on the lower drawers appears original; I believe the pulls on the upper drawers are replacements and that the originals were ring-style pulls.

Two of the uppers three drawers contain built-in dividers. One is divided in rather equal thirds; the center division of the other is about two inches narrower.

One of the larger bottom drawers is also divided.

Any clues regarding the possible maker and/or age of the piece would be greatly appreciated!
