This item is specifically made to protect bolo ties. Has a hanging loop, Velcro closure and a Velcro tab inside to hold the tie so it hangs flat inside the case. No packaging but it is possible that the fabric is treated to help prevent tarnish on silver items. Purchased in the US southwest in the early 1990s. 23.75 in long, 4 1/4 in wide. Blue satin trim
