[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 11024966, member: 76316"]It weighs ~5 3/4 pounds. I've just re-discovered this old-timer buried under 2 boxes of other debris in an overlooked corner; I got it from a friend who closed his antique shop in '95 or so, as a gift...I had admired it for at least a year, an' couldn't afford the $85 he was asking. I'd like to know if it can be correctly named; an' if it's late 19th C, as I suspect. It came to him with a very nice, large beetle which sold immediately.
