[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1528579, member: 85"]Not necessarily better made. Sold to people with a little more money maybe, so may have cost more at the time. The lock allows something important to be stored without servants or others having access. Has nothing to do with how it well it was made. However, think of it this way. It has lasted nearly 200 years, so it must have been better made than the everyday piece, which also could have had a lock.[/QUOTE]
