If you run at it head first and it gives you ringing sound between the ears it's iron, if you just feel a dull thud it's plastic!

The older ones are, it's surprising how much of that kind of stuff is still around and some of it has interesting designs. It will certainly be difficult to make it cutesy by sticking a child in the picture, unless it's an old picture of a loom with it's 12 year old operator stood at it.
Anyway, this was my second choice Mick wouldn't allow my first.
