  1. Really hard to tell from those pix. Learn to take photos an post here and not on that image site...after getting around ad's I quit viewing and left. One polish can't be judged from that lighting on a white background. Proper photos required.
  2. Only one shows it's not same one on ebay
  3. No a few smith's did a mirror image mei. That said I can't make a gimei call with out books or search here and or on goggle

    Any one think older than 1800s or even newer. Story with it. . If this bucket contains glue, this sparrow would fit into the story of the Tongue-Cuttered Sparrow, whose tongue was cut off after eating the glue, but the details are unknown. Never heard that before of course I see it a water bucket for plants or wash walkway.
