Since we first found
a toy chest with this type artwork it has been an item of discussion around
here. It could be George and Martha Washington, Scarlett and Rhett or a
couple from South of the Border. Whatever the period, we know the chest
itself goes back to the 1950s. It was made in St. Louis by the Hazel Novelty
Cabinet Company, same company that made many pirate chests. This is only the
third toy chest
with this particular artwork we've ever found. It's made of pine with beautiful pine knots. The chest
is original except for the addition of a safety lid support that holds the
lid in any position you leave it. (So that little fingers are not pinched,
if you want to pass it on to a younger generation.). We've cleaned and
resealed the wood and left just enough bruises on it to show its age. The
artwork needed some slight touch up but is mint now. We cleaned and polished
all the original metal buttons.
The last step was to coat the entire inside and outside surfaces with an
invisible protective clear-coat.
This is a fantastic piece of memorabilia and it won't be long before
