[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2473820, member: 22"]When expanded the backs of the drawers look like ply, so could be from the 20's onwards in the UK. WWII gliders used for silent invasions were made of ply. [ATTACH=full]266011[/ATTACH] I also see evidence of worm, tip it over and give it a good tap and see if dust comes out of those holes. [ATTACH=full]266012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]266013[/ATTACH] Sometimes these can remain quite sturdy but others are held together by the woodworms holding hands :rolleyes: On closer inspection this item looks very damp, it will need drying out before you do anything with it.[/QUOTE]
