<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 11418976, member: 23"]I'm going to say it's not that old. That bark in the back is a dead giveaway that they left it on because most people think that the older something is, the rougher it was made. That is generally the opposite. Genuine antiques were made at a time when the item would have been expensive and no one would spend their money on junk. People took more care and pride in their work. Fakers play on this misunderstanding of antiques.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
