    I picked this up and it's in sad shape. I thought I might sandwich it between clear glass as is rather than try to repair it.

    It got me wondering if there is any way to estimate a date on such a piece. It has painted elements but that's about it. I didn't measure but it's about 2' wide.

    It is universally recognised in the antiques trade that if you don't know when old stuff was made,you date it to 1890.

    I reckon it was made about 1890.

    And sort of unmade bit by bit since then

    LOL (how true)

    I'm also big on 1930 for the vintage stuff.

    LOL it's surely 1890's, of course!:D Actually I just couldn't pass it at $2 but really don't need any more projects.
