[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 332361, member: 59"]I was also thinking possibly silver plate from the pictures. Or one of the many non-silver alloys like "alpacca" or "nickel silver." Looking at the little fellow on top, he's off center, poorly cast (or at least not finely modeled) and to my eye doesn't even look like he belongs with the rest of the decor.
