OLSEN PREDICTION CHEST (Very Rare) ESTATE

Here is a prediction chest that is very seldom seen for sale. Over the years I have handled several Owen Prediction Chests, but never one of these.

It is believed that the builder was one Forest Olsen of Kansas City. I certainly never had one in my hand and the only reference that I could find was in an older Stevens catalogue where Joe showed of some of his collection. The outer wooden chest and inner brass box are both engraved with the maker’s name. “Olsen”.

Sadly, the original gimmicked key had been lost. I commissioned Paul Lembo to re-create the gimmicked key, and he did an awesome job. So, this beaty is now once again in working order.

The brassware on the wooden outer chest has a nice Patina to it, which matches the inner brass chest.

We shot a basic instruction video as well for the lucky buyer.
