<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 117121, member: 36&quot;]If that second one is as old as it looks, it was someone&#039;s prized possession, so no wonder they&#039;d repair it.&nbsp; Early on, metal was tough to come by in those remote (then) Spanish colonies and such a thing would have been pretty expensive.&nbsp; I&#039;d imagine a reproduction wouldn&#039;t have those crude repairs.&nbsp; I know little or nothing directly about Southwestern antiques, but my late dad was a metallurgist and he taught me some stuff whether I wanted to learn or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
