I found some of the information you have given very interesting and a learning experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lighting in my photos makes the wood on the box and mechanisms appear newer and brighter than in person. In person you could see that the wood is very old and darkened from age along with the old looking key and the lock mechanisms. The key especially is making me feel this box is older than the 1920&#039;s-1950&#039;s (in my opinion which may mean nothing, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>The other poster here said <b><i><span style="color: #ff0000">&quot;The feet are compound with separate pieces for the square top and turned bottom&quot;</span></i></b>. I have found another blanket chest of this era that has the same type of wood square pieces above the turned feet. While this may not help with dating the piece I found it very similar to my box shown in the photos below.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just asked the seller yesterday via ebay&#039;s contact seller option for more information on this box. He told me he bought it from an antique store over 40+ years ago in Massachusetts and that he remembers the dealer told him it was found in an old barn in Boston, Massachusetts. While that could mean nothing, sometimes a region could help identify a style of furniture leading it to an era it was made. It may possibly be a New England piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much for all your help and thanks to everyone that has given their input. Not everyone is going to come to the same conclusion and it is okay to disagree with each other sometimes. I hope others who have been so kind to come here and do their best to help me, don&#039;t feel unappreciated. I feel grateful for each and every one of you.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]265574[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]265575[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">MY BOX</span></b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]265576[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
