Groups,

After re-reading my previous post, I realized I had better clarify it.  The 
$25.00 or less price is specifically for stripped chests that as they sit are 
good storage shelves only.  I was just trying to find a home for some that 
otherwise will presumably go to a scrap metal dealer.  Technically, nothing has 
been done to them that is irreversible (many of us have restored far worse).  
Some of them are undated as well, meaning that they have "CH-74-A" engraved in 
the top and no order dates visible anywhere, so no one could easily prove that 
they aren't WW-II vintage.  But all removable hardware was removed, the two 
studs on each side that support the pull-out canvas support frame were sheared 
off, and the two brackets in the middle front of the bottom were cut off.  They 
do make great shelving.  Anyone who wants to get one and try to restore it is 
welcome to it, no questions asked.  But you'll have to come pick it up.
