Very nice engraving and box. I assume you engraved before constructing the lid.

Gorgeous! Are you going to have the box at their wedding (I’m assuming it’s a wedding) so people can put in cards or photos?

40ish??? Mine was a mini Lane Hope Chest. I was surprised how many of my friends had actual Hope Chests.

Yes, I believe it was Lane. I didn’t know anyone with an actual large hope chest. Although, tucking away a find here and there was done.

My wife has her large size Hope Chest. It was one of the things that had to be moved to NC.
