<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 346509, member: 6444"]I looked at Windsor chairs advertised as 18th century American on eBay. Only two of the five listings looked authentic to me, and one of those five had all legs replaced without being noted in the listing. The other three were well into the 19th century. You may not call those fakes, but they were certainly misrepresented. So it isn't just one area and i suspect his estimate may be pretty valid if you include all the badly misinformed people selling stuff on the internet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
