Very cool and likely to be an original period item. Hard to say 100% if the marble is genuine but I like it.

I think it is legit.

It needs a leap of faith. No one can say for sure.

I have saw a couple of these many years ago so they are an item that was produced shortly after the war. Not something produced for the modern collector market.
