<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4352743, member: 10012"]The date mark looks more like 1845. There are more marks on the stem. The design is machine cut which puts it into the early machine age. The actual back, under the dust cover is not pictured, so we are unable to look at the works. Does it run? If not it may not be worth fixing and may be of personal historical value only. In which case I would forego getting it repaired and put a small note in the back of it with info and stick it in a sock and stow it away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
