I think you are spot on Jamie. As you have pointed out , the way the back bracket fixes is not of any quality and also I think the positioning of its mounting - flange to be too high up to be aesthetically pleasing. I would put money on the whole thing being a creation of recent times.jamiegramo wrote: Sun Mar 14, 2021 3:04 pm It’s difficult to judge an item without actually seeing it. There’s a few things that don’t look quite right to me. Whilst wing nuts were used I doubt they would be used where they can be obviously seen on a round fine inlaid cabinet. Also the back bracket is mounted on poorly fitting wood and then there’s the depth of the bucket (now the motor housing). Personally I would put my money on a Wine Cooler, early 20th Century in the Sheraton Style. Close examination might reveal that the inside was once metal lined or maybe still is. The lid now being the motor board.
