<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 564061, member: 5066"]What i look at is, is the case pinned or not pinned? are the legs machine turned? or are they turned with a pole lathe? How is the top attached, is it pinned to the case? Are the boards all exactly the same thickness or vary slightly?</p><p>And no, the drawer bottoms are not indicative of machine VS hand made because, drawer boxes were largely hand crafted until 1900.</p><p>Look, if you think your stand is early & hand made that's fine. I really don't know for sure without looking at it personally however, in looking at pics, i am standing by 1840s, machine built. Naturally, i could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
