I remember her using one like it for clothes pins. The dark stains around the nails are the same too. I'd have to guess from the 20's or 30's? because it was already looking old when I was little (many, many years ago.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course they were made like this for a long time, so it could be less than that by 10 or 20 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
