[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2767716, member: 22"]My antique dealer / french polisher friend says its definitely Mahogany and may have been comissioned for an officer. He dates it from the photos shown between 1920-50. Campaign chest are supposed to split into two for ease of transport. The feet and legs often rotted away because wooden floors were always being washed leaving the feet sodden.[/QUOTE]
