<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TWG, post: 10096252, member: 88674&quot;]I recently purchased a very large solid mahogany writing slope which was advertised by the seller as Edwardian c 1910. Large meaning 56cm x 30cm x 22cm and weighing 9.5kg. On closer inspection of the lock, I see a small crown and the initials &quot;W R&quot; beneath (picture below). Several weeks back, a very experienced slope dealer/restorer was selling a slope with this same marking on the lock; he had stated that this indicated the slope was likely manufactured during the reign of William IV (William Rex), which meant the period from 1830 - 1837. Can anyone out there corroborate this assessment? [ATTACH=full]506752[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
