This is a very OLD & LARGE antique, chest or trunk, I believe is made of oak and is cedar lined. It has a yale lock but the skeleton key is missing. All other hardware appears to be there and original. The inside is deep and wide, with plenty of room for storage measuring 48 long x 17 high 20 wide inches. The chest is not extremely heavy due to its fine construction and thin walls. This must have been designed to be a decorative piece and was not intended to carry heavy luggage. You will not come across this every day. In fact it was purchased in the mids 70s at a yard sale. No maker mark could be found. Please note the photos were taken without it being cleaned and should shin up well. PLEASE NOTE, due to the size and weight, I am not sure of the costs to ship this item, local pickup is preferred. Although, I am more than willing to drop the chest off at the local UPS store listed below, you will have to pay packaging and shipping fees, cost unknown and will not be included in the sales price of the chest. Shipping you pay at an extra cost, you will have to be able to call the UPS store listed below while I am there and make payment and arrangements. The chest is currently in Ocean City Maryland and can be picked up anywhere between there and the Washington Metro area. www.theupsstorelocal.com The UPS Store 6312 SEVEN CORNERS CENTER FALLS CHURCH, VA 22044 Phone: (703)533-9474 Fax: (703)533-9473 E-mail The UPS Store #3141
