LOL !! Then you better watch Jacon4 because I will be sending those smoke signals to you !!
The plate rack was not what I was basing my opinion on !! The dovetails,, there are only 3,,as we get closer to 1900,, you more typically see 4 or more even if they are still hand cut !! The board width and color, fewer boards in the construction than later !! Machine milling added to number of boards used !! Its a very simple piece,, not a lot of frou frou (decoration) to it !! Just a piece meant to be used !! Or what I call a country primitive !! Just basic !!
