<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 398465, member: 8267&quot;]A few questions that might shed light on age:</p><p>-It looks like the board forming the bottom of the storage space is one solid board (though broken). Is that true, or is it pieced? Same question for the base. If these are solid boards, how wide are they (the dimension across the grain)?</p><p>-Can you find any saw marks anywhere that you can photograph? Look on the unexposed edges, which are less likely to have been planed or otherwise finished. I am particularly interested in the unfinished surfaces of the large curved pieces. A bandsaw would leave distinctive, very vertical marks. On the large flat boards, look for evidence of a circular saw having been used, vs an up &amp; down saw or pit saw.</p><p>-I see at least one square head / cut nail in your photographs. Is this typical of the construction?</p><p>-Can you provide a close up of the hinges?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
