<p>[QUOTE="woolshire, post: 4377903, member: 55775"]We’re these pieces made to deceive? To a novice (me) the dovetail assembly everywhere and overall look make it seem well made and old. Luckily, we didn’t spend a fortune on it, but it wasn’t close to free, either. I think it was $500 back then. We were hoping we could add a couple zeroes to that when assessing value… only half kidding. But, it’s been part of the family long enough now that I’m sure it will stay that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
