I have serious doubts that the object in question was part of a seaborn adventure. If it HAD been part of a ships complement...without proper conservation... it would long ago have crumpled into dust after a good salt water soaking.
I think you have a unique piece of Early Americana, I believe hand carved, and certainly mid 1800's...possibly earlier. But I don't think it was " washed up on a beach" from a pirate ship. Sorry
Enter "Oak Island" to the mix and throw every bit of logic and factual information out the window.
I’ve contacted the Oak Island museum to see if it is of any interest. Very interesting theory. Does this door make sense that it would have been from a ship? I’m getting historical info about it second hand. Btw my parent house was owned by a chapel related to the Oak Island chapels.
ahhh, yes, now...was this BEFORE or AFTER you posted here asking for information on the door? And of course, you became aware that your parents house was owned by the Oak Island Chapels, after posting...jeeeez. ummm, no pretense?
Fits perfect with the Curse of the curse of oak island thread? http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/oak-island/595896-curse-curse-oak-island.html
So much for a rational discussion on the possible origins of a cupboard door, allegedly found washed up on the shore, with late 1800's carvings and adorned with brass tacks which has not been invented until 1900, and absolutely no signs of ever even being wet, let alone submerged and washed up on a shore, yet now, a "missing link" to the Oak Island scam. I bet even that resident buffoon could find this with a metal detector?
There are many people here on TNET who are interested in historical and archaeological research and have provided responses to your quest for information on this cupboard door alleged from a shipwreck. There were many responses, especially mine, that were researched, looking at the images carved, condition of the artefact, and other information provided, to give you opinions and information on the identification of the artefact.
Given your latest 'revelations', while I cannot speak for the others who provided you information, I for one, cannot help but feel a certain, well... Here on TNET, we are prohibited from identifying false, misleading, or fraudulent claims by members posting 'finds'.
Mods, please move this thread to the Oak island depository.
