    Thank you. Its very heavy and the metal is not magnetic. Would it be brass or bronze do you think?

    It's pot metal usually. I found the following definition of pot metal on Wikipedia. "Pot metal (or monkey metal) is an alloy of low-melting point metals that manufacturers use to make fast, inexpensive castings." It may have a light brass coating but it's not solid brass.

    Some sellers would define the style of your tidbit as Hollywood Regency.
