<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10292651, member: 4654&quot;]If you can get a replacement lock and keep that match, or even slightly larger it can be refitted. Lets hope the locksmith is good with antique locks, if he is, gold dust. I&#039;m always happy to help with restoring if I can, I don&#039;t think you can be a box collector (unless you have very deep pockets) without having to restore some boxes. I know those tool chests are doing rather well ATM, my focus is on boxes that wouldn&#039;t look out of place in a high end office or mansion house.</p><p>Space in my house is running out so I have to be very picky about what I bid on but sometimes I can&#039;t pass by a small not so valuable box going for a song.</p><p>Antique art boxes that can&#039;t be easily faked that took great skill to produce is the only advice I could give any box collector, the problem with run of the mill boxes is there are so many.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
