<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 81328, member: 37"]Almost impossible to give an accurate age on something like this. It would have been made the same way for 100 years or more. If put together with square nails, it is likely 19th century but such things have been faked as well. Hard to fake legitimate wear, tear, and discoloration of the wood and this does exhibit all of this. Can't see any saw marks but these can be used to help date as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
