VenmoCrafted from solid cedar wood with a smooth natural finish, this box features the classic Lane construction and aromatic cedar interior. Perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes, or small valuables.
Measures approximately 9" L x 5" W x 3.5" H.
Lane miniature cedar chests were made with the same precision and quality materials as their legendary full-sized cedar chests. This is embossed on the inside with "Lane" and the furniture company's name who gave it as a gift - in this case RC Willey. Includes the key. New condition - see photos for detail.
They are a fascinating marketing story: In the late 1920’s, the company began the Girl Graduate Plan. The Plan was a national campaign enthusiastically embraced by the dealers distributing Lane cedar chests throughout the entire country. The Plan offered a gift to young ladies upon graduation from high school and invited the girl (and her parents) to the furniture dealer to receive the gift. The gift was a miniature cedar chest and usually also included a special discount offer on the purchase of a full-size cedar chest. Lane knew this was a great opportunity to encourage the parents to buy a chest for a graduation gift. They also knew that in those early days, one-half of girls were likely to be married within eighteen months.
