So... a friend of mine was trying to sell this chest at their yard sale the other day... they almost sold it for $25.00, but didn't .. They've been using it as a TV stand every since her father gave it to them and never cracked it open. They final opened it up since they didn't sell it and discovered it was a rare chest...
and here is the auction for it on ebay. From $25 to...

Let this be a lesson, research your junk before you get rid of it.
Cheers

I see it all the time on Antiques Roadshow.
Some one brings in a 'widget' that they bought for a quarter in a yard sale, or played with as a kid and find out it's a priceless heirloom that should be in the Smithsonian Museum.
