Is it painted ??  Could be Papier Mache' !! With metallic based paint !! Would sound rather tinney and dull when tapped with your fingernail !!

Yes it does now looking at the back !!  Could be plain old tin !!  Is it hollow ??  Back in the 30`s and 40`s many things were made of tin !! I think all the good metals went to the war effort !!
