<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 197407, member: 37"]I don't think the quality of the casting and finish work on yours is up to par with that of the earlier examples. Notice the excess metal at the edges and lack of definition in some places. This is most noticeable in your 4th photo. The back of the casting is also grainy which is often an indication of later work. Victorian era castings (and earlier) tend to be quite smooth, well defined, and well finished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
