Found this at a yard sale for $20. Haven’t done any research on it. Not sure what to do with it, but I liked it. Anyone have any details on it?

Heck for $20, you can't go wrong!
azjade, Twenty bucks? Excellent.
So, let see:
LANE
ALTAVISTA VIRGINIA
STYLE NO. 1340 17
SERIAL NO. 2574201

You can read the serial number BACKWARDS to determine the production date.
For example: serial number 753150 would have been produced on 05/13/57.
Some chests may also have an extra digit which denotes the plant location.
For example: serial number 2557121 would have been produced on 12/17/55 in plant #2.
