This round pill box measures 1.25 inches across the bottom and stands 3/4 inch tall. There are no marking as to a maker or metal content. I took it to a jeweler for testing and was told it tested at 800 silver and estimated it to be 1930s to 1940s time frame. I was also told that a majority of items made of 800 silver came from Mexico, but I can't verify that location.
Around the entire side areas are turtles, fish, eels, flags, and other like items. The top has floral carvings. As for the carved material on the top, I don't know if it's ivory, bone, or some hard plastic type material, but since it's applied to 800 silver I would think it's not some cheap material like plastic.
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.
