Beautifully made, black enamel background with fine original pitting, all exposed metal parts are gilded (some wear), blue enamel on the bottom and inside. Very attractive functional piece, hinges work perfectly, 2 compartments inside for stamps, in excellent condition. Length 2 7/16 inches, width 1 3/4 inches.
