1894 Van Hornesville, NY First Annual Odd Fellows Ball Invitation two-drawer chest The top was covered withHard to beat an all seeing eye, and I think the golden rays framing this one are especially good, as is the lettering on the banner hanging below it.

Dramatic toning to the front, which I like.
