<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1414079, member: 6444&quot;]I think its risky to date brass work based on wear, because the wear can vary a lot depending on how it was used. Mortars and pestles were tools that could be very heavily used. The design of this one looks just like that of skultuna &amp; bruk (swedish) who made them into the 20th century. I would therefore date it to be more recent.
