I've taken a better pic of the right hand side characters don't know if they're any clearer? Is there anything on the base that dates the item? I was thinking that maybe like English hallmarks one of those characters would be similar to a date letter. |

If so, the device may be something registered by its maker with the local magistrate's office or "Yamen", which registration would be tantamount to a copyright. |
