Noticed quite a few similar on Ebay a while ago.

 

Thought id stumbled onto something but then noticed quite a few similar. Remember asking Piers about them.

 

Actually, the top one below needs a further look into. As in it does actually look to be a used antique. Will add that not totally convinced but know nothing about these.,
