[quote=Anonymous]op here. Mine is 1947. You won't find asbestos prior to 1900, or after 1978* in plasters. Many plasters have fibers in them, usually horsehair, pig hair, jute, hemp, etc. But sometimes asbestos fibers were added on site, by a plasterer, depending on what they were trying to do or the location, etc. It wasn't in the plaster itself, but was added on-site. Except in the case of that backer board, where it was in there from the factory (in trace amounts). *(while production was kind of banned then, nothing says the material still wasn't around and could be put into things) As great as it would be to use dates to be sure of things, one thing I have learned is that the ONLY way to know truly is to do testing.[/quote]
