Deed Chests
This lot comprises three vintage metal deed chests, each offering a glimpse into past financial and legal practices. One chest is clearly marked for the Bristol & West Building Society, while another bears the name “Mardon Son & Hall Limited”. These chests would have been used to securely store important documents, deeds, and financial records. The construction is robust, typical of the period, and designed for longevity and protection of contents.
Condition & Collectibility
These deed chests show signs of age and use, with surface wear, some rust, and minor imperfections consistent with their vintage. The original paint and lettering remain largely intact, adding to their charm and historical appeal. Collectors of banking memorabilia, ephemera, or vintage storage items will find these chests particularly interesting, offering a tangible connection to the past.
