If those are Philips head screws, they were not in regular use until the 1940s. I get an even more modern vibe from it than that but it's hard to say exactly.

Also, if I remember correctly, a Lane Cedar chest that I used to have had a 4 digit number on it as well. I emailed the company and they gave me the exact date of manufacture.
