[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4509990, member: 84"]I found this today at my local thrift store. I knew it was something when I lifted it & felt the weight. And when I thumped(?) it I thought it was metal because of the sound, but a magnet won't stick to it? Could it be bronze? It measures 21? long x 15 high x 12 wide I don't think it's pot metal - feels too substantial - but who knows? The inside of the mouth looks different, so I also put photo of it Any help would be appreciated PS - They put the $49 price on the bottom with a sharpie - I've tried Mr Clean Magic Eraser and Acetone(fingernail polish remover) & it hasn't budged- any ideas? Thanks [ATTACH=full]395978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395984[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
