This nice little trinket box is unmarked but my research tells me it is made of walnut with an inlayed agate top, made in Brazil, probably in the 1960s or 1970s. The bottom of the lid, the inside bottom of the box and the outside bottom are all covered in brown felt, a popular choice during those years. It measures, across the top, about 3-1/2"; the inside diameter is about 2-3/4". With the lid on it stands about 2-1/2" tall. It is used, but lightly. There are a couple of very small nicks and a couple of larger scuffs in the wood and it is obvious that the box has contained items from the condition of the interior felt. It isn't damaged but slightly marred. The interior walls have some rough spots. I cleaned it up just a bit but I think with some serious polishing it can be made to look almost as good as new again. It is an estate piece being sold as is. I cannot guarantee that it has not been exposed to odors: smoking, fragrance, cooking, mustiness, mothballs, other types of storage odors or pets.

I do add a very small fee to cover part of the cost of my also very expensive packaging supplies as do most sellers. I pack very carefully to be certain that you will receive your purchase in perfect condition. Some sellers make money on their inflated shipping charges. I do not. Often I underestimate and incur some of the expense myself. If I overestimate and the shipping is less than anticipated I WILL REFUND ANY AMOUNT OVER $1.00 to your PayPal account. If the shipping seems excessive to you please reconsider your purchase.***** If the final sale price is more than $25.00, or if your item is particularly fragile even if the item sells for less than $25.00, your package will be sent insured to protect both of us and the minimal cost of insurance will be built into the shipping cost. **If you purchase 2 or more items totaling $150.00 or more, shipping is free.
