<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 296948, member: 5066"]Yeah i see the split but can't tell if it's just split or 2 boards. Reason i think first one is earlier is, nails & feet, i'd say both chests are 19th century. Those nails that attach back are hand wrought iron, ditto on trim moulding that wraps lid. Course, old nails are not definitive, the hinges are replaced, paint is probably not original, ditty box is missing.</p><p>The red or bottom chest lid is 2 boards it appears to me in looking at last pic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
