    I am not sure of the metal - only that is non-ferrous.
    About 3 5/8" x 2 3/4".

    Stamped CHINA on the back.

    Any thoughts on age?

    Hi Messi,
    Silver plated copper stamp looks very 1950ish. I have several pieces of jewelry with the same mark.

    A thought about that timeline - we (the US) had a trade embargo on China starting in, I believe, 1949 through about 1970.

    Hi Messi,
    You forget about the people coming to the US and numerous stuff was sent from Hong Kong. It was strange that a lot of the 50s stuff was real materials since they had no access to plastics and electroplating.
