<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 13013730, member: 35"]Huh. That bottom doesn't yell Chinese to me. but I'm out of my comfort zone here. Apparently, the Roman number eight is similar to a Chinese character for good fortune or luck -- people of Chinese descent here liked to have vehicle licence plates with the number eight in them (I was in the insurance biz many moons ago). I mention that only that if it is Chinese, maybe someone marked it for good luck? I'm wondering if it was made as a toy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
