[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9717612, member: 84"]I found this at my local thrift shop (as always!) yesterday. When I picked it up I was surprised - it is Heavy!! It measures 24" x 9" x 9" I think it may be old, but it has a made in India sticker on the bottom of it - any idea how old it is? (look at the nails in photo 4 - aren't those forged?) What kind of wood is it that has beautiful grain & is so unexpectedly heavy? What was it made/used for? (there was some straw like material in it - maybe for a champagne bottle?) Thank you for any help with this! PS - 1st photo was taken at thrift shop when I tried to do an image search on it & rest were taken in the evening at home with camera flash - which shows the wood better I think) [ATTACH=full]471713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471717[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471719[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471720[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471725[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
