Thank's for your help, I contacted the person I purchased it from to fined out any info they knew and was told they got it from a couple who had emigrated to Canada in the 1950s and that he was Austrian & she was German
an that they brought the chest with them, so your info rings true. Here are a few pics of the hing.

Hello & thank you for your reply, I believe the top of the chest is painted.

Hello I'm hoping someone could give me any information on a chest I purchased, the age, origin, value ?
It has no nails or screws and has Dovetail joins, someone added Cedar wood to the inside at a later date, the hinges look like a type of Cotter pin style and it has Iron handles at each end, the lock has a skeleton key.
Thank you for any info
