Good Afternoon Landy,
.
I appreciate the help. I had an uncle fill me in about it last night and yes, it is inert and safe thank goodness. The inside is completely hollow. From what I was told, it was nothing more than a replica of sorts he had picked up years ago at a flea market. At least that mystery is solved but I do appreciate the help.For anyone interested, this is what the inside looks like. The top simply screws off.
