Old Chest
« on: January 12, 2005, 09:48:50 pm »
I have a three drawer chest with a tilting mirror that is approximately 125 years old. On the top of the chest there is a small (9 inch x12 inch x 1inch) removable marble insert that slides in and out like a drawer.  When it is out you can see the contents of the top drawer. I am curious as to what is the purpose of this marble slab.
