[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 9459478, member: 88"]A friend found this at the bottom of a box of books he bought at an auction. He showed it to me wondering what it was, if it was gold & real stones. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I tried to gently dissuade him of the gold & real stones thought but was not very successful. :p:p :hilarious: I told him I would post it here to get some additional opinions. :happy::happy: It is 2 3/4" long, 1 1/4" across the top portion & the opening at the bottom is 1/2" across. It is missing two stones. If you look very closely it looks like it could have had some enameling at one time. I could see no markings anywhere.
