<p>[QUOTE="KentWhirled, post: 273523, member: 5386"]The light interior is probably due to the fact that it wouldn't have been open to air much, thus not much chance of oxidation. Some old things are pristine because they were hardly ever used. About the nails, I just remember that you can narrow down dates by whether handmade or machine made. Machine made was somewhere in the 19th c. I think, but don't quote me on that! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
