    Looks like a fairly modern pine blanket box to me.

    Hi,
    Looks like a cedar lined hope chest. Looks like the 50s to me 1950s.

    Welcome to the Forum Jackalopekiller! :) I agree with the others cedar benket chest, hope chest. But why is part of a leg attached on the front? Or is that a problem of the photo?

    Looks like a cedar chest to me too. Cedar to help keep the wool moths away from those Irish sweaters:). They are the devil to get rid of once they take up residence in your house (and I know:().

    Pretty standard American cedar chest. Would say more 40s than 50s.

    Sweaters are probably worth more than the chest. Definitely looks like a good old American cedar chest from the 40's to 50's. We have a couple full of sweaters and wool blankets.
