[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4436131, member: 84"]I found this at my local thrift store today. I wouldn't look twice at it (not my style) but another friend/picker who comes to the thrift store early & who buys much more antiques, furniture, etc than I do found one of these yesterday & when the manager said $120 he offered $80 and bought it when the manager agreed to the price. So when I saw this one today I bought it for the same $80 - did I do good? It measures 12" L x 8.5" W x 5.5" H It has MADRID and some other letters + numbers etched into it - and what looks like 925 under those (last photo - nest to Madrid it looks like R3R (or EGR?) -then a triangle? - then 60; the 925 is under the R3R? is this silver? An antique? What was the spring for sticking out of it (bottom of 1st photo) for? Any information on it would be a great help! Thank you!
