<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 2434627, member: 738"]Inconclusive forensic observations: Are those not circular saw marks in the wood in Pics 5 and 6, dating them to no earlier than mid-19th century? The seats appear wider than the typical 19th century American versions, but still not wide enough for 18th century. (Think about the parking requirements for the volume of the costume silhouette of the period). The carving does not look American either. If they were 18th century I would expect much more upholstery and gimp tack evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
