Re: Antique Chest
Hello - Judging from your photos it looks like you have a late 19th or early 20th century flat top 'steamer' chest or box. There would have been a tray inside that fit on the rails that run the perimeter of the chest. Yours appears to be missing.Â
From the appearance it looks as though your chest has seen some hard use over the 100 or so years that it's been around. I'd value it realistically at about $35 - 50 USD.
