<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 2462196, member: 72588&quot;]That&#039;s a beauty, Yarm. The lady aside, what caught my eye was the antiquary chest. I have one that&#039;s quite similar. It is made of inlaid walnut with folding, brass handles and a key lock door. It measures around 13&quot;x13&quot;x16&quot;. There are thirteen drawers, most of which are of uniformly shallow depth. Every drawer has a pull and a glass lid that lifts. There are inserts that are suited to English coins, various sizes. I have removed those, along with the round, leather &quot;pillows&quot; upon which coins were placed. It appears to have been made in the 1860&#039;s or thereabouts. I bought it from an elderly collector over forty years ago and despite having visited many hundreds of antique shops in my time, I have yet to see a similar chest but for the one on your token, Yarm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
