I'm sorry to break this to you mate but that was made about five minutes ago in India or Pakistan, and the chance of it having 8 levers is zero. Probably 3 or 4 at the absolute outside.

Yeah that metal is in really good condition for being supposedly 101 years old. We do like how they repeatedly stamped the numeral "8" to try and be more convincing

Yeah, most “Old English” style like that that I’ve seen have 4 levers. LPL has a video of one that said 12 levers, and it actually had 2…

Make a rig so it hangs down in the front and you have to pick it from the back side(like you are inside trying to get out)🤪
