<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 267710, member: 4727&quot;]Hello, everyone:</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier today, I picked up this doll pram at a yard sale. The seller told me it came from the attic of her family&#039;s 1880&#039;s farmhouse, and that it is quite old. Does this story check out, or is it a 1980&#039;s reproduction rather than a 1880&#039;s original?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been unable to find a match for this pram online. Aside from light rust on the metal parts and a thick coating of dust and cobwebs its condition seems very good, which is a bit worrying to me. On the plus side, the wicker seems to be finished with shellac, rather than a modern stain or other type of finish, and I haven&#039;t found any modern fasteners, like Phillips-head screws, only rivets and slot screws. So, perhaps it IS old. I just can&#039;t tell...</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? The pram didn&#039;t cost a lot, so I won&#039;t be devastated if it is modern; I&#039;d just like to know, one way or the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LAszvdK.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/iO2hS6c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/y5g87r4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
