The Acme Cedar Chest Company of South Bend Indiana was founded by Edgar Burner in early 1900's.  The plant burned down on July 4th 1916 because of fireworks!

I don't know what you mean that you have a cedar chest that is 95%.   95% there?  95% missing?   :)

I'm assuming 100% is mint while 95% would have some slight scuffs and scratches.   ???

Looking at the photo, it's been refinished, right? So when you said 95%, were saying it has 95% of its history intact?
