<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Mackay, post: 3267014, member: 4589&quot;]Some context: these were found buried in a large, old piece of furniture. Unsure what to call it as it was homemade - basically a large free-standing storage cupboard. This was in our pioneer family farm house in southern Ontario. That &quot;unit&quot; was totally stuffed with mostly paper that is frequently discarded shortly after coming into existence, such as old bills, receipts, empty envelopes, used xmas wrap, you name it ! This was a house in which <u>nothing</u> was ever thrown away if it might have use sometime. So, as far as I&#039;m concerned, this item is original, not repro, not made to look old but an example of its time. What I don&#039;t know is when that time was. The item on Worthpoint may be correctly dated in my opinion. If the date is wrong, I doubt it&#039;s wrong by more that 20 years. I think even at the turn of the previous century, clever marketers knew - if only instinctively - the value of evoking memories of the old days. So there you go ! It&#039;s not something I&#039;d sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
