<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 398620, member: 8267&quot;]So far I don&#039;t see anything that would be inconsistent with a 19th century date. Cut nails were common throughout the 19th century. Wire nails (the round ones we are most familiar with) began to be made about 1880. The standard screws also consistent with 19th century. (Phillips not until the 1930&#039;s.) Unfortunately, I can&#039;t see any saw marks, which might be helpful. But the wide solid boards indicate they were cut from older growth trees, which tends to indicate 19th or early 20th century as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
