<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thaivic, post: 857809, member: 23991&quot;]Ah, love&#039;s young dream. Now how many swains could afford to carve initials into a florin in the 1830&#039;s or indeed anytime in the 19th century? It may have been the errant son of some millowner or landed gentry wishing to attain his evil way with a poor factory girl or milkmaid. It could of course have been done more recently but it does make a change from a common tree or school desk. Hope the gal appreciated it. I&#039;m presuming it was the male half that did the carving. I somehow don&#039;t think girls really did that sort of thing years ago. Then again it could have been one schoolboy to another... the possibilities just grow and grow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
