This was a gift from my husband several years ago. It's about 7 inches tall and quite thick. It's also quite heavy, weighing it at about 3 pounds! I would love to know it's age and maker if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks for the love!
Thanks for the recent loves!
Is there a way to mark this as unsolved once it's been posted? I edited the post but can't find a way to make it unsolved without reposting it.
Hi Chinablue,
Yes, if you are logged in, click the "Edit this item" link on the left, and it will take you to the info page. Once there, scroll down to the bottom and change the "Mysteriousness" to unsolved. Let me know if you still have any issues getting that to work!

I looked again, Hunter but don't see it anywhere. Could be because I'm running an old browser, but it's the newest this computer will run. I guess I could delete and relist it if I don't get some info after a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though! :-)
You are completely correct Chinablue - I logged in to try from your acct. and it's not possible unless you're an admin. :) So I just switched it, and the item should show up as Unsolved now. For future reference, you can just write to support@collectorsweekly.com and we'll change it for you...
best,
Hunter
Hunter, thanks SO much for doing that! I appreciate you taking the time to change it for me. :-)
Thanks to petey and all the others who love this that I hadn't thanked before!
Does anyone have any ideas as to who might have made this? I hadn't put it up as unsolved earlier, just shared it. But the more I look at it, the more I'd like to know more about it. :-)
glad to help! sorry I don't know about the maker... :(
