Description

Purchased at an estate sale last year in Plano, TX, and feel it might be a Waterfall Cedar Chest (that I feel might be a Lane). The serial number stamped inside is 10984 stamped inside lid). There is also a stamped Style No. 85-45 stamped above the Serial number. The stamp is more clear on the left and fades out to right. I've looked all over for a Makers Mark everywhere except botom. (Too heavy for me to turn over.)

There is extensive copper used on the inside workings. Hopefully my pictures may reveal enough so I can find out it's worth.
