<p>[QUOTE="Wild boar 123, post: 9822322, member: 87343"]Probably last post on this one. Had another look. Piece is pinned at the back with little wooden pegs, suspect that was orginally to hold the back pine panels on. See arrows. The pegs simply popped out (wasn't trying to remove them). Have put back in. See pic with arrows, shows where the pegs are located. Pic of three holes, two small lower ones mark positions of pegs, the larger one filled with modern wax, nail underneath - you're right, lid has been nailed on, but seems like a modern repair. I'm thinking it was refinished, handles replaced and top nailed on around the same time. Pine pieces on back were hand planed at an angle to fit, I think, see pic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
