Thank you all for the quick response!

I was told there is a patent date on it of 1877, there are not any additional markings or tags.

Below are some more pictures and again thanks for all the help, anymore information would be great!









Thanks!!!

Antique Questions Forum / Need Info on Old Chest, Anything helps!!

First time poster, hopefully I chose the right forum.

Reaching out to see if anyone could help me looking into an old chest that a friend recently purchased. Attached are some pictures of the chest. (Sorry about the poor lighting) All she was told was that it is an "older" shoe chest.

The outside of the chest looks a lot newer than the inside. Inside, the joints are simply butted together which tells me it has to predate power tools. The designed pieces you see are made of cardboard while the rest of the inner workings seem to be made of a real light wood perhaps balsa?

Trying to get a few more pictures of the hinges, inside of the top and bottom.

Anything information at all would be a tremendous help.

Thanks for the help in advance, have a blessed day!
