Hello guys. A person have offered to me these two dayak tolor. He told me that the small is about 100 years old, the other 50 years old. What do you think? Thank you for the help :)

Its hard to say how old they are exactly, but they sure look nice (and not that new). My advice is look for clues of age; for example, in 50 to 100 years the cover most have been opened a lot. So try to look for wear on the borders. Probably they should also have scratches all over. The woven cover looks a bit fresh, but who knows, mabe it was added later. Just take time to study your item carefully and use common sence (How would your bag look like if you'd been carrying it around in the jungle for 100 years?)
