<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 6847850, member: 6444&quot;]Oh man, I can&#039;t believe we are still talking about this chest one month after you first posted it. Nice that you added more pics, but I have to say the pics you took of the hinges are STILL off-center and at an angle!!! I do not see anything in your new pictures to preclude a modern machine made hinge and screws because they are STILL off-center and STILL covered with multiple layers of paint!!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you aren&#039;t sick of this discussion yet (like the rest of us are) and you want to put this discussion about the hardware to bed, then unscrew one of the hinges and take pictures of the rear of the hinge without paint on it. Then show the screws removed from the hinge from ABOVE (not an angle) to show the whole heads. Then show the screws from the side. Pretty clearly that is the only way to stop this petty back and forth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see much in the pics you added to support the idea that this is as old as 1910, but I haven&#039;t seen the chest in person like you have, I have only seen the pictures you supplied. Is it possible it is as old as 1910 or maybe even a few years earlier, sure, but as I said a couple times, it doesn&#039;t really interest me when and where it was made in the 20th century. I still think all suggestions that WERE made - 70&#039;s Austria ([USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] ) or more recent India/Asia ([USER=36]@evelyb30[/USER] ) are still very much in the running. Hand-painted, sure, but that could be the case with either of those suggestions. Overpainting and brown over-varnish is intro to fake furniture painting 101. Your saw cuts are circular, the hardware (in my opinion) modern and NOT hand-made, and the wear to the feet could be either fakery or a good pull across a concrete basement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, [USER=78422]@Woutinc[/USER] , you really need to get over this. I know English is not your first language, so I&#039;ve tried to be very patient. But it is really in your best interests to tone it down. I never got personal with you or made a personal attack. And go back and read this thread - I never called you silly. I wasn&#039;t even talking to you, I was talking to [USER=76316]@wlwhittier[/USER] ! And I said it was a silly conversation about oval screws, which, I&#039;m sorry to say IT STILL IS!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
