<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 397522, member: 5833"]I'm sure you're also wondering about age. The safety clasp is newer than the pin/hinge assembly. It is not uncommon to see replacement clasps, either because the original C-shaped clasp has broken off or owner wanted the greater security of a more modern clasp. The work has been done very neatly & professionally, but think this one is a mid-20th century replacement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
