Vintage treasure chest

Recommended Posts

I found this antique store in Granada, the oldest colonial settlement in central america who has a buch of those real old wooden chests (I guess they used to be travel cases).

I bought one and turned it into my new home for my old watches.

Three levels for watches, parts and straps and it comes with the original old lock and key:

I will make a nice stamped brass plaque for it and it's done.

Now that is what I call recycling. Beautiful!

Beautiful! I love the character and patina of the surface and edges. It's in remarkable shape!

How old would you say it is?

The lady in the store said it's at least 50-60 years old.

Looking at Granada's history with earthquakes in 1926 and 1972 and the civil war from 1979, I think this is correct.

She has about 10 more in the store in different sizes. I just picked this one because it had the original lock and key and the size was right for what I wanted to do.

I thin I will go back next week and buy one or two more.
