<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 215208, member: 29"]I think perhaps a tad later than late 19th. Don't forget this was made in India, and is hand wrought, rather than industrial. Yes, Britain used hex nuts, but we were the world leaders in industry - early adopters and all that. They'd have taken longer to get to craftsman in India. I can't see why this isn't early 20th, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
