I’ve done a little research before I listed this. A magnet will stick to this. Though while reading up on it.. I’ve learned that some of these are high magnesium bronze or high nickel bronze. It could be strongly magnetic. So I’m really not sure exactly what I have here. It could be metal, or some type of cast-iron. it appears to be really old though just not really familiar with item. I’m a reseller only. It could possibly be a reproduction that I wouldn’t know about. However, I think it is period correct. This item weighs around 4 pounds and 9-10 ounces. Please use pictures provided to entertain your own opinion about this particular item feel free to contact me with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks.
