I believe this little pill box is made of hard cardstock and decorated with gold color paper mache. The top features a pink rose in the center and another pick rose in the upper right corner (as it sits in my photo). At one time there may have been pink roses on each corner, but if so, they are long gone.
You'll also notice in my photo that there are some small bare spots, mainly in the corners. I would imagine that's due to age. If I were going to keep it, I'd dab it with a spot of gold colored model paint. The bare spots are not at all as big as they appear in my photo, but my camera makes everything appear much larger than in real life.
I purchased it at an estate sale and the seller stated it to be from the 1950s. There are numerous uses for a little box like this. The seller that I purchased it from said that it belonged to her mom and after both her parents passed she used this box to keep their wedding rings in for display in a cabinet.
The box measures 1 by 1.25 inches and stands 1 inch tall. There are no dents, breakage, or tears.
As for the material that I stated (paper mache), I'm guessing on that, but researching this online I see a couple of very similar little pill boxes that are made of paper mache, so I'm going with that.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Parcel from California. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $4.95.
ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST INFO:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
Also, every January the postal service increases shipping charges. This year, many price increases were a bit steep with some package categories adding as much as a dollar on to an already high shipping charge. I try to absorb some of the new charges but that's getting harder with each increase.
International shipping charges also took a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
