<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 685999, member: 6444"]I don’t think you read the earlier discussion? I can’t see this being a last quarter 18th century Penn chest. The legs are totally wrong, and even if replaced they were never the bracket legs used on 18th cent Penn chests like you showed in your pics. Plus each of the sides is made from two butted boards, not single. If American must be mid or late 19th century, or else (and I think more likely) imported from Europe since lock is strange for America. (And what’s up with the three layer board - looks like early plywood - seen from the back)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
