That also looks like the kind of stuff that comes out of Toledo as collectibles. It might be an antique, but only in the sense that it's "old" and not a period original. I would suspect that it's 20th century, possibly 19th. Just guessing. But it doesn't at all look like a $12k period original to me.

Sir William:
Amazing what you find on eBay these days...

Sir Wolf:
:)
