My mom bought this and and other pieces 20+ years ago from a lady who inheirated it from her father. Her father brought it state side from an unknown region many many years ago and told her it was very old and valuable. We believe it is made of teakwood and brass?. We also haven't been able to find anything like it to compare it to. We gave had "antique appraisers" come to the house and look at them, one told us they where real they all told us they weren't worth much but made several offers to buy them... Need info please help us figure it out
