ANTIQUE AMERICANA NEW ENGLAND WOODEN BOX CHEST TWO LEVEL TOOLBOX BRASS 27X17X11

Description: ++THIS PIECE WAS BOUGHT IN 1968 BY MY MOTHER, AN ANTIQUE DEALER. THE PRICE AND ORIGINAL TAG.++ TOOLS? WORK? I THINK YOU CARRIED THE IMPLEMENTS THAT WERE GOING TO BE PUT IN THE SECOND LEVEL AFTER IT WAS SET DOWN. I COULD KEEP ON GUESSING BUT AS I SAID, IT IS A 'MYSTERIEUX' CHEST. WHAT AUGMENTS THIS HEST OVER MUCH? TWO LEVELS. THERE IS, OF COURSE, A NORMAL, CLASSIC, 1890-1900 EMPTY BOX. BUT THEN, BELOW THE TOP THERE IS A SLIDING SEMI-DRAWER WITH THREE COMPARTMENTS. THEY CAN SLIDE ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE BOX. THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME.. A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE HARDWARE IS MISSING BUT THE HARDWORIGINAL. THE IRON HANDLES ON EITHER SIDE OFTHE CHEST WERE OBVIOUSLY FOR MOVING THE TRUNK, BOX.. IT IS A GREAT PIECE, SPECIAL AND UNIQUE. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL MEDIUM WARM CHESTNUT STAIN THAT MAKES IT HARD TO VERIFY IF IT IS MAPLE, OAK,BIRCH OR CHERRY. THERE ARE IRON HANDLES WITH A SIMPLE DESIGN. NOTHING MISSING ON THE BEAUTIFUL BRASS HINGES ON ALL THE CORNERS. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE TOP OF THE CHEST (MADE BY KIDS OR THE BOX RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING), MUCH FINER CONDITION FOR A 19TH C PIECE THAT WAS MOVED AROUND. NEW ENGLAND ORIGIN. DIMENSIONS: 11 X 26 X 17.5 GREAT FOLK ART AMERICANA COLLECTICBLE
