<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9883827, member: 37&quot;]Interior pics in the link show irregular saw marks.&nbsp; Most likely made by pit saw.&nbsp; This would put it as early as 15th century.&nbsp; By the end of the 16th century, such saws began to be mechanized, though pit saw use extended well into the 19th century in some places and for certain types of work.&nbsp; Note how the saw marks on the lid are much more regular, indicating a later early replacement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
