[itzyoboyandrew]

So found this like 15min ago... if you cant tell from the pic, its a magic lamp (looks like that type of lamp, might just be a light lamp) on top of a opened book ontop of 2 closed books.

It's the Lamp of Knowledge.
In many cultures, the oil lamp represents prosperity and a desire to conquer darkness or ignorance.
The open book represents learning and study; in days of old, by lamplight..
Don......

Mackaydon is right.
It's a students Academic medal like this:

Also, it might be engraved on the back

So what is the age of it do you think?

Looks like pot metal. If so, it's modern.
