NO! Crib safety standards were revised in 2000, 2002, 2009 and again just this year. That is 4 revisions to safety standards that your crib does not meet. These old cribs use hardware that would not pass testing today. Not to mention that the glue joints in all the wood have likely seen a lot of environmental cycles in those 13 years and with both wood and glue drying out, those joints are likely very weak and could separate with any more wear and tear. The crib is the only place you should feel comfortable leaving your child unattended. Don't risk his or her life on something that is that old.
