<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10265945, member: 111&quot;]These miniature cedar chests, intended for candy, etc. became extremely popular in the 1920s, so much so that candy manufacturers presented the First Lady a full-size cedar chest filled with candy in 1925, and there were trade issues relating to their contents not being the expected weight for the sizes of the boxes.&nbsp; Their popularity continued into the &#039;50s, and I can even remember seeing some in roadside shops in the &#039;60s - this one may be fairly early, but they&#039;re difficult to firmly date because the same forms and hardware, including the heart locks, were often used for many years (simple cedar boxes with similar hardware are still being produced)...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1926:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]514481[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1926:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]514475[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1942:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]514476[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1951:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]514500[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
