The big chest bottom appeared in Fabuland 3667 - Bakery Shoppe in brown in
1982. A flat plate was used for the top.
The bottom part of a chest was matched with the traditional rounded top in
1986 with both parts in red and yellow in Fabuland 3681- Amusement Park.

This is the same large chest and lid currently found in Belville.
