The serial number of your Lane cedar chest is 090527 (not 090257).
Usually you can read the serial number of Lane cedar chests BACKWARDS to determine the production date: the last two or one digit in backwards is the day, then two or one digit in backwards is the month, then two digits in backwards is the year, then there may be an additional digit (first digit in the serial number) - the plant location. But this rule does not always work. I can't read the serial number of your Lane cedar chest 090527 that way, so I think the year is the last two digits, but not backwards - 1927.
