<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2288699, member: 5833"]This may have to go with kyratango's mystery substance. Hinge, clasp & pin also say older. So does the attachment of the findings directly into the material. When first picked up, cold/cool/close to room temperature? For its size is it surprising heavy, surprisingly light or just about right? What sort of sound does it make when you tap it with a fingernail? It looks worked rather than molded. What do you observe that leads you to think man made?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
