That being said it appears that you have a nice item that hung for a long time in what seems to be a legendary bar. So with documentation it still presumably has value. I’d still be interested in what others think but I feel confident saying someone made this many years ago specifically as an ornament for the bar.
Now I remember… yeah, the McGreevey stuff. But do we even know for sure it “hung for a long time”?
