It’s certainly very good quality. If I had to cast a vote I’d cast it for they are legit.
This sounds like an interesting possibility. I’d ask OP if it smells like ashes? Old ashtrays usually still stink even after many decades. It is...
That’s really neat! I’ve definitely never seen one like that. I think it would have much more appeal that a fixed twin bed. People are tight on...

Lower karat gold could potentially have verdigris I guess. I know what you mean though. I have some that you’d swear up and down are gold when you...
If you zoom in on your final photo there’s quite a bit of tiny verdigris present. Definitely a copper based alloy so probably brass. Nice stick! I...
What is material is yours made of? Great looking thing!
Lead weights. That’s something to consider going forward when buying silver desk/dresser boxes at auctions and sales.
