<p>[QUOTE="djs259, post: 9556718, member: 83006"]Well, just the style and dark color of the patina on the brass, as well as the fact that the legs don't appear to be secured by a simple threaded bolt as would be the case with more recently made andirons. Plus the heavy weight of these andirons doesn't seem consistent with something that was made in the 1980's. Also, I've seen photos of very similar looking andirons posted online described as being from the late 19th century. Does anyone here have accurate information on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
