Bill I see what you mean about the brass plates. I think the workmanship is lower on those. It may be real, but a lower quality.

when one goes back to early 20th century & Victorean times.

I dont think high quality work always means non tourist,

or indeed that rougher work equals tourist.

It might not be fancy work Bill but it looks a real ethnographic piece to me.

I like it.
