<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 281816, member: 136&quot;]Hi, Dan -</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I&#039;m no furniture guru, and I&#039;m sure someone else will have more &amp; better info for you, but here are my thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) I don&#039;t see the waterfall top that would make this a waterfall chest;</p><p>2) It doesn&#039;t have any Lane markings, so it&#039;s very likely not Lane.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lane used stamped markings inside the top, and numbers (style number &amp; serial/date) either inside or under their chests. Here are some examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]90024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]90025[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]90026[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>style &amp; serial/date numbers:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]90027[/ATTACH] </p><p>The style number is pretty straight forward.</p><p>The serial number indicates the production date. You have to read the serial number backwards. </p><p>On the one above, the serial number: 831070, indicates that it was made on 07/01/38.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, cedar chests were very popular for a long time, and LOTS of manufacturers made them. Lane is the one many people think of first, but there were many, many other manufacturers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
