[QUOTE="Andrew N, post: 419890, member: 8959"]I recently rescued this item. It seems to be jade, however I am no expert. It seems old but sturdy, not cheap or plastic. Its heavy and cold to the touch, has a few nicks here and there. But otherwise seems ok. Nothing broken off. I am not quite a collector of anything, and by no means any expert. Just recently discovered the passion for older things and histories. I am not even sure if I should see if it works?? Guessing it might be from china or made to look that way. No real inscriptions or markings. Except the power plug (levitron) and the actual socket stamped in the bronze part (Benjamin 250V). I don't know? Is there maybe a hint of history here or is it modern made history? Any ideas or speculation would be much appreciated. Many thanks Andrew [ATTACH=full]146612[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146613[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146614[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
