<p>[QUOTE="Someone, post: 351655, member: 7337"]It's been kept untouched for a very long time. Anything that was changed on the piece must have been done before then. I have had it for 5 years and my Nan was the one who gave it to me had it a long time as well but it was never touched or used while in her possession. I did remember her saying that it was actually used for it's purpose so it must be pretty old, she didn't tell me who she got it from. I know it is over 25 years old just from the fact that she still had it in her old house and this was 20 years ago. She gave it to me when she found it after moving. It was stored for the whole time she lived in that house. If the screws are original then it must have been made 1930-1970 I guess as from how long my nan had it. Not to sure why the bolts look new, they have never been touched. Unable to find out any more information on it from my Nan unfortunately <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Only just remembered all of this. So hope some of it helps figuring this out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
