I found a chest with looking the same latches as yours chest has, and about the same size:
Antique Wardrobe Steamer Trunk Multnomah Bagageman Proof Home Decor www.ebay.com/.../144048295990

The chest I found is dated 1920's.
The chest in not in perfect condition, but a little better than your chest, the price is $375.

Vinyl was invented in 1920, so it cant be older than that.

Do I see newspapers at the bottom of the chest ?? You might be able to find the date on the newspaper , that would possible give you an idea of the age of your chest.

Dates are usually printed at the top of a newspaper. Hope this helps !!
