<p>[QUOTE="Happy!, post: 951193, member: 237"]Like both of them. I read these threads and look at pictures as if I was the buyer--to learn from them for when I see one "in the wild". I get how the yellow paint decoration, form, etc. dates this to the 1820's. But the bottom would have thrown me off. I would have expected darker wood for it to be from that time period. Is it the type of wood used here that makes it not darker on the bottom? Ie., do certain woods look less aged?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or is the bottom covered by some type of stain that is making the aging covered up? It does look like something was applied there, one can see a pretty straight "edge".</p><p><br /></p><p>Just some thoughts, hope to learn more...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
