Not sure what the wood is, it is not heavy at all. It could possibly be what is know as Monkey Pod in Hawaii as souvenir's items would often use this wood.
Please review the pictures enlarged they are the best way for you to judge the condition of the item. The pictures are part of the Listing. Please ask questions or for additional pictures if you need them.
Please take a look at my other listings I list vintage, unique and hard to find items. I find items at yard sales, estate sales and thrift stores.
At times I use recycled boxes and other materials for shipping. Flat Rate items will be shipped via the least expensive option, USPS, FedEx or UPS.
