Pretty neat find
« on: May 18, 2012, 07:13:46 PM »
Wife and I were browsing a little antique shop today and I found this chest.  My guess it was for the soldier's uniform and possibles and mementos from the war.

I didn't want to move the items on top; especially with the asking price on the chest. ($2200)
