No problem.
Well if it's silver plated it could mean a number of things....I'm no pro at this, but many items, for example, during the early 1900's, especially, sculptures and such, were usually made with some amount of silver in them. Some of my own collectibles, mainly old coins, were made entirely out of silver (like my 1939 German 2 mark, which is a coin if you didn't know) so I'm guessing it might be early 1900's and possibly earlier...oh and you mentioned screws on the back...are the heads of the screws the star shaped, or just the line shape?
