    I walked past this at GW thinking it was one of those cheap steel containers that someone had left outside. I came back through and thought ah well I actually like the look of it for Halloween/fall decor (it was pre-filled with cobwebs!). I picked it up and it weighed a ton. Confused, I checked the mark on the bottom...Russian Imperial mark with Cyrillic words. :facepalm:

    One lens search later and the internet compared it to all the Russian Stickley Bros. Arts and Crafts pieces from 1905-1915ish (though I of course assume this one was not sold through them as it's lacking their mark). It didn't look much like copper (it was covered in a white film) but it sure weighed like it... For $5 I'd find out, and it would go in my witch decor if not. :vamp:

    I love the handle details and the interesting seam.

    So anyone know Russian? It doesn't look like the Tula mark and I'm no good making the translators work with Cyrillic. :banghead: Stats: 9.5" (24.13 cm) and 1 lb 13 oz (.82 kg).

    And here I told the husband we needed to take a break from thrifting to do other things. Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in. :hilarious:

    I can't read it either, but for cheap and feeling like copper...it's outta there.
