rockFord_Expedition Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 LOL, I appreciate it guys, especially the free offer. But, being that this is a family piece for my mom, I want to do it myself. I am sure it will be mine one day, and I am a sucker for my family's history. I have some cool old photo's in my barbershop of my grandparents that I never even knew. They passed while I was an infant, but I look just like my grandfather. Ya know, this show's a lot of the character of this site, being a car audio site, that so many people are trying to help. I really appreciate it. There's nothing like family. Sometimes I get the family vibe from a few on this site. It's pretty awesome. Now get your ass to work and show us some pics bish.

David Bailey Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 OK, so I got the chest this morning while my Mom was getting her nails did. I did a little research and found this. Cavalier cedar chests were built in Chattanooga, Tennessee from Tennessee red cedar by the Tennessee Furniture Company beginning in 1923. The "Cavalier" line and trademark was only used for cedar chests and iceboxes. Since Cavalier cedar chests have solid cedar cores, they typically functioned as hope chests or linen chests "" as long as the chest was maintained, the cedar oil would keep moths from attacking the contents. Women often kept their detailed laces, embroidered material or fine wools in their cedar chests in order to preserve them from attacking pests. The ice boxes, beverage coolers and Coca-Cola vending machines they built in the same period were not constructed of cedar.Unfortunately, since the company changed hands several times in the later part of the twentieth century, many of the records were lost through the years, so there are no reference codes for the serial numbers on the chests or model line details except those that antique dealers have parsed together Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

David Bailey Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Guy at the hardware store recommended Zip Strip. He said his dad was a yacht repairman and that is what he always used. Anyone used that brand? Want to make sure it is good before I open it this weekend.

David Bailey Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 For those that are interested... I found a serial number on the bottom of the chest. After doing a lot of research, I found out that it was built in September, 1924. Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

Pasta Prime Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Great project man. I love seeing old furniture come to life.
