Looks like a mohogany veneer on top with solid wood lower parts of lesser wood stained to match (poplar or maybe birch). Styling suggests 20s or...
The epoxy will be stronger than the plaster and may pull away from it if just glued to the surface. You really need to embed something into the...
Went back and it was gone. Seems I was right to be hesitant but we will never know. Having handled a fair amount of silver, the piece seemed too...
Just posted this awhile ago. Still not sure this isn't plate. I am going to be out and about so may swing by and get it anyway. Would be nice...
