We suspect the translation for this is "Dietrich ??? from Beckedorf by way of New York to Chicago - Food Chest" But the paint is fading and there is one word we can not read or figure out what it means. I wonder if there are someone on the TOTV forum than can help me translate. I can send a photo of the words on the chest, including the word we can not identify.

My wife is recovering but she may do it. Also on the net you can do a search with yahoo,,,,,,,,,,,,, NOT GOOGLE and search under translations and do it that way. Email us
