I've done a little looking myself and while I'm a big fan I'm not much of a collector, so I really have no idea what I'm doing with this thing. I just need some more info on this specific piece such as; when it was made? what it was made for? who made it ect ect. This isn't my picture I found this one on ebay but mine looks exactly the same.
I apologize if this isn't the right place or there's better resources out there. I'm grateful for any help I can get. Thank you
