(it's not a target label, it's what salvation army uses for their collectibles.)
it's from the bombay company. 4 stickers from the store/manufacturer, a strainer, and a top that features a knob to repeatedly remove said lid. yes, it's a cocktail shaker, even though it might be made from dubious materials.
when i take a stainless blade to it, i can carve off pieces that show a bright brass color. it weighs 722 grams, a little over 1lb 9oz.
i'm still a firm believer that it held ashes. silver oxide is dark, so i don't think it's just tarnished inside. it smells like metal, like a handful of coins, maybe it once held incense/cigar/cigarette ashes, when i swabbed the inside with the plastic letter opener, the powder came off very light and easy. i'm thinkin' it contained ashes from somebody's pet.
if anybody is interested in giving it a peaceful resting place, it's on ebay.
