<p>[QUOTE="Barry Crouch, post: 1291467, member: 13065"]I am not 100% sure I can rule out bakelite, but it is about 3 pounds as to its overall weight; the top weighs a few about half an ounce shy of a pound and the base is much heavier. Also, there is a lot of detail in layers; where you see the dragon's body - it is carved underneath what you see as well. So, I don't think it could be a piece that came out of a mold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
