The interior is lined with hand marbled paper. This would likely date from the mid to late 1800s.The fabric covering used to form a hinge for the top but that has broken (see last 2 pictures) 

It is 4.25" long, 3" front to back and 2.5" high. It is in remarkably good condition for its age (see pictures)

Please do not pay until I send you an invoice which will include the correct shipping amount. The shipping quote in the listing should be fairly accurate but is based on an estimate from the post office and experience shows it could be off by a dollar or two either way. (Note: Shipping will include approx $1 to cover the 10% fee that ebay tacks onto the shipping charge and $3 for packing materials and handling.)

I am listing other items and will combine shipping on multiple purchases whenever appropriate.
