    Picked this from a local thrift today. Really dismissed it as modern decor that I could make a few bucks on. Now I am not so sure. The only similar I am finding are touted as silver plate and fairly valuable.

    Very heavy. It is so heavy that I thought plated iron but it is not magnetic. 4 1/2" tall. Shell is 4 3/4" x 4 2/4". Really don't think it is silver plate but doesn't seem like pewter either. Maybe something chrome plated? What do I have?

    Hadn't seen the second one. Agee it is more similar to mine. Looks like the seller doesn't know what it is either.

    For sure not silver plate. Will polish up a bit just by rubbing. No black coming off and no silver smell.
