<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 231075, member: 23"]You don't say what year it was when you were 5! I was 5 in 1954 so it makes a difference when you are trying to date something. Better to say what year you received it. Can you show a photo of the interior and the bottom? That also helps with dating. </p><p><br /></p><p>My mother's older sister, born in 1898, collected a lot of 1920s Egyptian revival stuff which I inherited. In my opinion, but only my opinion, this does not look that old. It also doesn't have the patina one would associate with an older piece, unless it's been highly polished over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
