A recent post by Chris Schwarz brought my piece back to mind, I did a google search again on Campaign Chest and found this link. It looks very similar to my unit, so that suggest that it is a Burmese Teak design.
Early 1900 British Colonial Campaign Chest, made of Teak. From Burma Dimensions:
41"H X 42"W X 19"D


Price:
$1790.00



Still haven't got it restored, putting all my change in a jar to save up.

Once had a colleague save in one of those 30cm high tins where he kept putting his 2 dollar coins. When he finally took it to the bank is was over $2000.00.
