... and there is a Church or two and other figures and yes the boy has his finger in the dike. Looks to be pewter, beautifully toned, would be a crime to polish it. Probably would improve slightly with a mild washing but I haven't done anything to it at all. Very good quality of manufacture and in Excellent condition. There is a cork plug in the top which has made me wonder, I think maybe since most people who had these used them mainly as decoration it kept dust or small bugs out of the insides. I think it is early 20th century. No hallmarks or maker stamps anywhere. Really nice, to be honest kicks the h*ll out of anything similar I have seen.
