I found this chest today an Ebay. The lid is only attached by 1 snipe hinge and is super heavy so I couldn't open it for pictures. I hope the...
If you click on the links provided it's a grain scoop. Do you think they were using square hand made nails in the 1970's in India?

Sure does look like a grain scoop!

I never thought for a minute that the initials and date were carved by the person who made the chest. I expect that the person who bought it did that.
I have the provenance. It was featured in the 1971 catalogue of local furniture at Temple Newsam in Leeds.
Sorry Jeff one more thing. It looks to me like the carving of the legs match the carving on the front. Does this make any difference when trying...
