Mar 8, 2024
INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING. APPARENTLY, SELDOM USED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH THE YEARS. LIGHT SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE. THE SMALL PLAQUE ON THE TOP OF THE CHEST READS 1927. MEASURES 13.5 BY 11 BY A BIT OVER 4 INCHES. THIS REMINDS ME OF A PIRATES CHEST. LABEL ON THE BOTTOM READS: PIECES OF EIGHT……. LEATHER STRAPS WITH HINGE CLOSURE, GREEN AND GOLD IN TONE, THE GREEN PAINT WORN TO LOOK LIKE CAMOUFLAGE. THIS CHEST HAS JUST ENOUGH WEAR TO GIVE IT SUCH A GREAT EYE APPEAL, WHILE STILL BEING STURDY. ALL SIDES ARE COVERED IN WHAT COULD BE METAL DECOR. IT IS A WOOD CHEST WITH GREEN FELT INSIDE. A STICKER ON THE FELT READS 1847 ROGERS BROS. METAL HINGE WITH SLIDE LOCK IN FRONT. THIS WAS SOME SORT OF COMMERATIVE SET, THE PLAQUE ON THE TOP READS. SO DENVER CHAPTER 42. HONESTLY, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FLATWARE CHEST LIKE THIS ONE.
