Old pine blanket box I reckon there's 70 to 100 quid to be had on this as it stands if its dovetailed and not rottern looks good from the pictures? Or just sand and polish for yourself here's what it could look like http://www.kernowfurniture.co.uk/product/huge-waxed-pine-storage-chest-blanket-box?gclid=CjwKEAjw55K4BRC53L6x9pyDzl4SJAD_21V1Y69r3uvWFDMLdKxIRvimT_U1GJnFCoRvTQkDhXq-KRoCqe7w_wcB . Id have it myself if it were closer ... hurry less than 4 hours left http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201551739461?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

that would look really nice with a bit of work on it, i'm surprised it hasn't had a few more bids to be honest,mind you, some people can't see the potential in things unless it's all cleaned up first,

It's a desirable size to not to big like the example I put up ...old Victorian pine isn't what it used to be but still fetches decent dollar there's plenty of people after that rustic look.

A better example of what it could be

nice useful box for a lot of things really, iv'e seen them in kids play rooms for there toys, my sister-in-law used a more modern one to put her logs in, in the front room for the fire, iv'e got a nice sized ottoman at the bottom of my bed for our blankets instead of a blanket box, but i would still find a place for one in a room somewhere,

Couple of lads round here are from up your way Kanny, 1 lad who was a bit of a joiner, was from a family who lived in a place called The Lane, his old man had a firm doing all pine furniture etc.
