I have one of those somewhere , I may try to find it. Good idea to use a coin as a reference. If I find mine I'll do the same.

Wow, that's sweet. Hate to knock that bad boy over when lighting it.

I actually have 3 of them. I thought I only had one.

Polywonder! Haven't seen that brand in years. That little mascot on there is a Sycee or silver ingot used as money. Makes sense because the manufacturers must've made a lot of it making those things. I believe the earlier ones from Link Triad were made for the Malaysian market.

These two pictured in my collection are from the late 1800s. Both should be "choked" with silk twine on top but one is missing it.
