<p>[QUOTE="wcubed, post: 2845427, member: 12663"]My mother found this by the side of the road on one of her walks. She dragged it home, and gave it to me. It looks old, I'm just not sure how old. It looks handmade to me, but I'm no expert. I see a few wooden pegs, some straight slotted screws underneath, and a few well small well patina'd nails. Value is gone, due to the previous owners having stripped the finish off, and it looks like the joints were loose, so they pounded some small nails into it on the back, as well as glue in some of the joints. It it solid now anyway, and very comfortable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cane has been replaced with what looks like plastic caning. The caning on the backrest looks as though they painted it white.
