    We just bought this chest at an auction in Washington Missouri today.
    There is a small foil tag that is nailed into the top that says "Air and dust proofed with special Chamberlin Weather strips U.S. pat. 1718929 July 25, 1929 and pats. pending"
    Any information would be helpful and appreciated!
    Thanks!

      Hi,
      I realize this post is from 8 years old, but I've only just seen it. From my research the company, Chamberlin Weather Strips started in 1893 and went out of business as of 1959. So your auction find would be from sometime in that window of 1893 through 1959.
      I am not an expert, but based on how the wood look and the design ( I have some similar items my home handed down through the family) I would guess these is pre-WWII. Again...I am NOT an expert, but that would give you (or anyone) somewhere to start.
