I appreciate the comments. I'll have to see if I can back track its history in Florida.

I have been able to trace this piece back through a couple of hands. It seems that it came from a booth at a Renaissance faire in Florida. Perhaps it was recently made in an American garage. Thanks for the comments and insights. Good call Spiral.
