Six Plank Blanket Chest
« on: June 23, 2008, 02:16:20 pm »
Can anyone tell me how old it is, its origin possibly, and an estimated value. The dimensions are 30 x 18 x 13. Also looking for advise as to cleaning it, it is covered in dusty dirty residue, any products or recipes that I can use that will not effect the wood or the value?
