    Hi,

    I don't know where to begin looking for this item. Any clue what it is? Marked Hong Kong Does not magnetize Almost 17" tall and very weighty Don't mind the color on the inside bottom as there is something stuffed down there. Not sure who put it there but I don't think it came like that. I have to fish it out.

    Please help and thank you!

    It'll be pre 1996.

    It may be 1970s, that's quite feasible. No later than 96, when HK went back to China. Sixties and fifties stuff tends to say British Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
