I have one similar to that.  How much is it appraised for it you don't mind my asking.  I am going to give mine to my granddaugher for graduation.

These chests are probably the most common furniture item found in average American homes. Several manufacturers made them from World War One into the 1960's. Because so many of them were produced their values tend to be very modest, we sell them all the time for under $250.00.
