<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robert Walker, post: 1760220, member: 14345&quot;]Hi &#039;A J&#039;, thank you for helping out. I agree it&#039;s most likely tinnen copper. At the time of purchase, way back in the beginning of &#039;collecting&#039;, I was told it was much older. He suggested &#039;early 20&#039;th/late 19th&#039; century. When I asked him how he was able to date the jug, he said he could tell by the way it was put together, i.e. the handle and the bottom. I&#039;ve always had my doubts. But, then again, I do own items that are really of the age mentioned above, and there seems to be some truth to what the guy said at the time. Then again, there are very talented craftsmen, who can do anything to make an item look like an &#039;antique&#039;. I&#039;m going to enjoy looking into &#039;Persepolis friezes&#039;, this is essentially what I enjoy doing- looking into a part of history instigated by a tangible object i&#039;ve acquired. I would like to ask you what made you think of the age you suggested, pre-WWII. Thanks for helping out, I&#039;ve been &#039;welcomed&#039; generously by members of this forum. I was a member of a Dutch forum, but left &#039;caus at times it was snobbish, at times even rude/offensive. All the best![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
