[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 826180, member: 29"]Plywood means later in the US, but this is English. It was patented here at the end of the eighteenth century. That looks an older piece to me: it's more like slices of probably deal glued in the middle than what we know as ply now. WHat do the backs of the handles look like? And are there metal studs under the paws? Other than that, at first look,it does look earlyish 19th - 1820s/30s? I'd think cutlery. I'd use it for jewellery now, it would be brilliant for that. Lovely patina on it.[/QUOTE]
