Hi guys! I recently acquired a cool piece of old marble art that says 宜春齒輪 ( yi chun chi lun) I was just wondering if anyone had any other information about it. It is a marble piece inside a box, almost like a presentation of some sort.

I have made an album of the images so you can see ;)

looks like it's supposed to be a souvenir from Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum in Nanjing. also it may be that your third character is not "chi" but "xi" (west, we recently saw a seal script version fo "west" that looked like this), not sure what the idiom is supposed to be unless it's possibly a Japanese name? but that's rather a stretch I think.

Wow! That is so cool. I think I may keep this. Do you know how old it may be?

Thanks again!

no earlier than 1929, when the mausoleum was completed, but likely a lot more recent than that, say from the 1980s to the present.
