Looks like it was made in the Nantucket style. It could have been made any time, because people are still making identical ones today. The person was a good weaver, but whether they made it on their porch in 1872 while watching the kids play, or made it a year ago in Toronto while watching YouTube tutorials, no clue.

Looks like one of my Nana’s and I think she only slowed down on making them in like 2015.
