    Hello! This is a chest that's been in my attic for a few years but I don't know much about it. I'm hoping someone can give me some information about its history, age, build, maybe possible value. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    What I do know is that this belonged to my great uncle who was born around 1911 and spent his whole life in North Carolina. I don't know if the lettering is related to the family but I'm sure someone can tell me if it has to do with something else. Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

      It's a tool chest, the IOOF stands for, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the FLT stands for Friendship Love and Truth, what was your uncle's name, may have been his initials.
