Please see the listing photos for contents and condition. This EMPTY jewelry box is previously owned, but shows no noticeable wear. The case is made of steel as it does stick to a magnet. The material appears to be velvet, but I do not know the specific material. I do not know when it was made. The hinge snaps close and opens as it should. Any information about this box tie would be appreciated. Customer satisfaction is guaranteed. A full refund is offered if you are not fully satisfied and I will pay the return shipping cost. Payment due at time of purchase.
