<p>[QUOTE="Marhamchurch Antiques, post: 3102660, member: 17426"]by the way under the hinges there is a piece of dovetailed wood which is not explainable at all, normally when we see this you would think replaced hinges and the fillet of wood applied to adjust for new, but there are no extra holes for previous hinges, the box is also very small indeed, so quite possibly an over cut hole for the hinges then back filled? it's all a mystery for now. The bottom board is pine and oak boards look like American timber, not English West Country oak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
