<p>[QUOTE="chris klausen, post: 9996424, member: 81903"]Can anyone help with age? There are several things that point to 17th or 18th century like iron loop hinges, all wood peg construction with no nails or screws at all, and linen fold construction. On the other hand if that is French Polynesian writing that island wasn't named until 1885. Also while tongue and grove construction is ancient in Europe I think it points to 19th century. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for all the input so far![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
