He also made one for my brother Grayson, and wisely painted our first initials inside the lid of each chest. It was filled silver coins, maybe even silver dollars when he gave them to us. But the real treasure to me is the handmade box my grandfather took time to make. This was no kit. He made everything and even painted the awesome Jolly Roger inside the lid. I should confirm that with the elders, maybe my uncle Robin helped with the painting.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-some years later it&#8217;s still with me. Now, I keep it on my bedside table and use it to hold pocket change. If I didn&#8217;t have pocket change I would find some because it looks so cool sitting in the treasure chest. For a brief period it was in the attic at our first house. A home invading squirrel got in, managed to find my treasured treasure chest and gnawed on a couple corners. He was evicted with a vengeance. Looking at the damage still hurts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tracysigler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/treasure-chest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-655\" title=\"Chick Sigler -- Treasure Chest Coin Box\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tracysigler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/treasure-chest.jpg\" alt=\"Chick Sigler -- Treasure Chest Coin Box\" width=\"500\" height=\"379\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tracysigler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/treasure-chest-back.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-657\" title=\"Chick Sigler -- Treasure Chest Coin Box\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tracysigler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/treasure-chest-back.jpg\" alt=\"Chick Sigler -- Treasure Chest Coin Box\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My grandfather, Charles &#8220;Chick&#8221; Orndoff Sigler III, made this treasure chest as a Christmas gift for me when I was probably 10 or so.
