You might contact the local antique shops for more answers. I know I looked into this
company many years ago for some reason and I don't remember what I learned. I think
someone was looking for a replacement key for their locked chest. They had started a
tradition of giving small cedar chests to all graduating girls of Huntington County and
Smith Furniture had kept up that tradition when I graduated from Huntington North. There
is a Huntington County History Museum, but they have let their website go. To bad, it was
really a nice website. But this website has info on the museum.

PS, thanks for sharing the photo, it's really neat to see a little bit of Huntington
County History :)
