Primitive small size sea chest in old green paint over original red stain, having hand carved wooden handles that would have contained sailor made beckets which are missing. One of the rattail hinges is broken at the upper end but the lid of the chest is still attached and opens and closes properly. The chest with some use wear and edge chips, but overall good condition. There is a paper in the box attributing ownership to a Capt. Frederick A. Weld (see photo for details).
