This is the second Mahantongo Valley chest in the collection and was in Winterthur Museum when author Henry Reed included it in his book Decorated Furniture of the Mahantongo Valley (1987). The color schemes of the folk art mirror, J. Howard & Company rooster weathervane, Shaker berry buckets, and Lehnware water bucket complement the chest and create an appealing visual image. Olde Hope Antiques sold both Mahantongo chests to the couple, as well as the weathervane and buckets; the mirror is from Jim and Nancy Glazer.
