I have my Grandmothers(she was born in 1892). It's solid cedar inside & out. Has an open end key. It dates back to 1909. She received it as a gift from a beau. I keep her glass cut dishes, fur coat, fox stole, old wool one piece swim suit, wedding dress, and other family herilooms in it. I have no children of my own, so it'll get passed on to neices. I also had one of my own, which I filled during my high school years. I gave it to my step daughter.
It's sad the younger generation has no desire to learn the old ways or keep them going. All they seem interested in is new stuff & dragging kids to sports 6 or 7 days a week.
