<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9718073, member: 4654"]Unfortunately I think it's not that old just made to have that old look, they haven't even tried to fake old construction techniques. The banding is too thin plate, anything before 1947 would have had "made in British India" if it had a label at all (a box like that wouldn't have had) I'm sorry to say the straw in the bottom might just be the straw it was packed in when it came over from India.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
