<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 35152, member: 37"]Thanks for the pics. I think this is probably post-war and bench made as opposed to factory made. I came to this conclusion based primarily on the idea that this is over-built and is in generally pretty pristine condition. I was really expecting to see signs that this had been refinished if it was an arts and crafts period piece. It just doesn't show enough wear and tear or darkening of the finish to be period. The extra thick lumber for the top and sides is not something that most factories would use. I think it was either made by a talented hobbyist or in a small workshop. The good news is that it is not likely to be an 80s or later reproduction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
